TODAY:
Webinar on the Draft Final Report of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group
From: Cheryl Langdon-Orr and Jeffrey Neuman, Co-Chairs
The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group published its draft Final Report for Public
Comment on 20 August 2020. This draft Final Report is the culmination of several years of deliberations and numerous public consultations, in support of the large number of topics captured in the working group charter.
The working group has worked extremely hard to reach this point and is looking forward to considering feedback received as it seeks to complete its Final Report and
deliver it to the GNSO Council. To aid in your review and understanding of the draft Final Report, we have scheduled a webinar on
Monday, 14 September 2020 at 20:00 UTC to present on a selection of the topics within the draft Final Report, answer questions you may have, and provide context where it may be needed.

TOMORROW:
Webinar on PDP 3.0 Implementation
The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council invites you to attend a webinar to discuss the implementation status of the Policy Development Process (PDP)
3.0 initiative on Tuesday, 15 September 2020 at 21:00 UTC for 90 minutes. Please email
gnso-secs@icann.org
for information on how to join. Participants are encouraged to join the discussions. More information will be posted
here
[r20.rs6.net].
There are three objectives for this webinar:
1.
Review the purposes and practical examples of the PDP 3.0 work products that have been applied in ongoing GNSO working groups
2.
Begin the preliminary assessment of PDP 3.0 impact
3.
Help other Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees evaluate the applicability of PDP 3.0 improvements in their internal processes.
In addition, the webinar will also include an introduction of the Consensus
Playbook [r20.rs6.net] to start the initial community discussion of its contents and practical utility.
PDP 3.0 is a GNSO Council initiative designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the GNSO policy development process. The GNSO Council adopted the PDP
3.0 Final Report [r20.rs6.net] in February 2020; many work products related to the 14 PDP 3.0 improvements have been deployed in GNSO working groups or used by the GNSO
Council.

REMINDER:
Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69
From:
Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair
Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs,
Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020.
While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and
I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission.
The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting
that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board.
As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option
of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their
own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues.
As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the
other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you:
·
Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model
-
key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder
model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting).
We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations,
board-ops-team@icann.org,
your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner.
For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and
to exchange with you constructively and virtually.
