NEW: Chair's Blog: September Board Workshop Recap

 

The ICANN Board recently finished four productive days where it considered a variety of topics and issues impacting ICANN today and in the future. As I explained in my pre-workshop blog [r20.rs6.net], the pandemic has required us to continue to adapt our ways of working together. With thanks to our virtual tools, support from across the ICANN ecosystem, and a good deal of equanimity from my colleagues, the Board is pressing forward with its important work and delivering on ICANN's mission.
