ICANN77

Starting with ICANN77, we have a change to our typical pre-meeting routine: we are not printing any materials; we are only going to be designing and translating meeting collateral.

🔥 TODAY | TRANSLATION DEADLINE:

If your publication requires translation, please provide the final material(s) by 11 MAY. This ensures that there is enough time to translate the publication by the start of the meeting, with the possibility of potential changes to said translations. If your materials require design assistance (outlined above), please note that the final materials will have to be complete, including the edit/approval process, by this deadline to be translated.

All content/requests can be sent to andrea.glandon@icann.org

Action Items

🔥 DUE MONDAY: SOs/ACs to provide feedback on Fellowship Program outreach and promotion goals
