NEW: Highlights from the June Board Workshop and ICANN74

 

Last month at ICANN74 [r20.rs6.net], many of us met face-to-face for the first time since November 2019 for a hybrid meeting in The Hague, Netherlands. In some ways this meeting marked a return to what "we've always done," yet with more emphasis on enabling effective online participation via Zoom, as well as with additional health and safety measures to be able to meet responsibly in person, bringing together participants from more than 100 countries. This was an important step toward best-in-class hybrid meetings, where participation both in the room and online is optimized.

REMINDER: Request for Appointment of Members and Liaisons to the CSC

 

As of 30 September 2022, several members and liaisons of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) will complete their term. ICANN org will soon be asking chairs to initiate your respective group's processes to appoint members and liaisons to these seats. While members are required, liaison appointments are optional (albeit strongly encouraged). To ensure that the appointment process is completed in time for the start of the next CSC term, ICANN org will ask to be notified of your appointments by Monday, 1 August 2022.

 

More information will be shared directly via email, including detailed guidance about the process, candidate qualification requirements, and key dates.
