The slides from the call are attached once more with the repeating agenda slides removed for your convenience. For quick reference, you will find the four and five-day example block schedules on slide #3, followed by an ICANN72 time zone chart on slide #4. Slide #5 includes the schedule production timeline and slides #6 through #11 outline the detailed proposals for ICANN72 plenary topics. Next Steps / Action items A. Block Schedule / Meeting Dates Thanks for your feedback; based on the call it looks like a 4-day meeting will be preferable from 25-28 October (Monday through Thursday). We'll plan to proceed this way unless anyone has serious objections that the list is made aware of by Tuesday, 17 August 2021. We will also inform the SOAC Chairs accordingly, to ensure that everyone across the community is aware. B. Proposed Plenary Topics 1. Unfinished Business: Closed Generics (ALAC) 2. Tackling DNS Abuse (ALAC) 3. Looking out for the public interest (ALAC) 4. ICANN Accountability and Transparency and the ICANN Reviews (EURALO) 5. How to design inclusive, equitable hybrid ICANN meetings (GAC) 6. GDPR / WHOIS data: what is next? (GAC) Please continue to socialize the topic proposals with your groups and feel free to use this mailing list to ask questions or share additional feedback on the topics. We will provide a topic review form next week and send out a tentative invite for a production call on 26 August 2021 to finalize the topics if needed. Mary and I will also work with each of your staff support teams on overall scheduling, including timing for Prep Week and any sessions you may wish to hold outside the block schedule. Lastly, the recording and chat transcript from the call will be shared with the list shortly. Thank you all again for your time and commitment to organizing another constructive meeting for ICANN72 Virtual Annual General Meeting.
