Discussion items for Prague AL Policy session..
by avri＠doria.org May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

Hi, At the last meeting, we spoke about taking 15 minutes, at least, to discuss a hot topic of the meeting's choosing, at the ICANN 83 Policy meeting. The idea was to present a table with ideas at the start of the meeting, take a poll, and see what we ended up discussing. The table can be found in https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1iGNs5X0LVb6im_4wVcD_f510AOtPxCG6kAg… As you will see there are a few empty squares. Discussion poll for ICAN83 - any ideas for the empty square? - any ideas for narrowing down any of the ones there. - any of the topics a bad idea and should be removed? At the start of the meeting in Prague I will ask for a poll to be taken and we will try to discuss the idea most want to discuss. Will also look at the the poll results as suggestions for future discussions in the CPWG. Thanks avri
