Dear Community Leaders

As many of you may know, yesterday we published public comments for short-term and long-term options to potentially adjust the timeline of ICANN Reviews. This is in response to issues raised by the community about the number of concurrent reviews and the strain that this has placed on volunteer and ICANN org resources. We’re hoping to share some additional opportunities for engagement and discussion on this important topic. I was wondering if you could help us to promote these resources with your respective communities? 

• Theresa Swinehart has shared a high-level introduction on the Public Comments on Review Timelines in her blog post published today. The post includes background information, key resources, and requests for the community to share their input via two public comments: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/please-comment-on-the-timing-of-reviews

• Two webinars will also be offered to help the ICANN Community understand the proposals and provide additional opportunity for Q&A. To participate, please request a calendar invitation by sending your email request to mssi-secretariat@icann.org and indicate which webinar you will join.

• Webinar 1: 07 June 2018: 5:00-6:00 UTC[local time]
• Webinar 2: 07 June 2018:17:00-18:00 UTC [local time]

• Last, if community members are interested, we are encouraging them to invite us to present options and hold a Q&A with their constituencies via a remote call.  Interested parties can schedule this by emailing: reviews@icann.org. 

As always, thank you for your support.
