This effort is critical to ensuring that the multistakeholder model evolves and meets the changing needs of the ICANN community. The Implementation Operations team is offering an up to 30 minute interactive update on this project, more specifically on the evaluation methodology, which is used to assess the current projects/initiatives that are supporting the multistakeholder model. If you like this update to be part of your constituency/committee ICANN75 agenda, please email giovanni.seppia@icann.org<mailto:giovanni.seppia@icann.org> and/or negar.farzinnia@icann.org<mailto:negar.farzinnia@icann.org>. We look forward to working together to enhance the ICANN multistakeholder model.
