Dear Councilors,

I thought this blog by the ICANN Board Chair might be of interest:

https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/strengthening-collaboration-a-framework-for-board-liaisons-to-community-groups-6-7-2021-en

"The framework we developed, with valuable collaboration from Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee leaders, addresses issues such as:

When a Board member should be appointed as a liaison
Expectations of the liaison
Guidelines for how to participate as a liaison

For example, the new guidelines require a liaison to clearly state, during policy discussions, whether they are expressing a personal opinion or conveying an official Board position. You can read the full framework here."

Kind regards,

Pam
