DUE THURSDAY: Questions or Topics for ICANN Community Groups and ICANN Board Joint Sessions during ICANN73

 

ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman has proposed the following topics to discuss with ICANN community groups during ICANN73:

·     What are your key priorities for ICANN work in 2022, how do these priorities help achieve ICANN’s common objectives as expressed in the FY 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, and how do you see the ICANN community, Board, and org moving forward together on a way to achieve these?

·     If any, what suggestions would you have to enhance ICANN’s effectiveness and efficiency with regards to the process of implementation after adoption of a PDP or Review recommendations?

 

Please submit your topic of interest and/or questions to board-ops-team@icann.org no later than Friday, 18 February 2022.
