Another suggestion below for the Cross-Community or HIT sessions (not quite sure what the difference is) Sorry I can't make the meeting this morning (1am) I have two meetings at 5.30 onwards and need some sleep before then.

King <tanzanica.king@icann.org>, SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning < soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org> All, One point on meeting organisation that I was particularly aware of in Kobe was duplication. I was interested in and tracking the ICANN Budget process and so attended the relevant ccNSO session, GNSO session and cross-community session. Not only was there significant or total duplication of the content across the sessions but the Cross-C session was very poorly attended. So much so that it was effectively the ICANN finance team and (IIRC) myself and one other individual actively engaged with them. There was clearly inefficiency in this as well as the creation of parallel sessions (a commonly voiced community concern); more than otherwise may have been required. With this background, I understand that there is a proposal from the ATRT3 chairs to meet with various groups in Marrakech. Moreover, that my group (the RySG) is not meeting together as a group for any length of time (in order to enable RySG members to participate elsewhere) and so will not be able to meet with ATRT3. Given the goals of the ATRT3 group in Marrakech are as follows: - Socialize our terms of reference and scope; - Conduct investigation of identified objectives - Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations. My proposal here and to this group is that *ATRT3 hold a community-wide engagement and feedback session within a 90 minute slot*. I trust that you will find this logical and sensible use of community resources. Thank-you, Jonathan *From:* Tanzanica S.

So far, the suggested topics for cross-community or high-interest sessions in Marrakech are as follows: 1. Policy around Universal Acceptance and steps to be taken by TLD operators/registrars, software developers and hosting companies 2. DNS over HTTPS (DoH) – hot subject for many stakeholders: TLDs, users, governments, lawyers, ISPs, etc. 3. Nominating Committee Review 4. Evolution of ICANN Multi-stakeholder model of Governance 5. Hijacking / Account Take-Over / Attacks To move us forward in the selection of topics, the ICANN65 Topic Proposal Form <https://icann.wufoo.com/forms/icannn65-topic-proposal-form/> is now open for submissions. Before completing a form, please continue to share all proposed topics with the group to avoid duplicate submissions. *ICANN65 Topic Proposal Form* <https://icann.wufoo.com/forms/icannn65-topic-proposal-form/> *Submission Deadline: **19 April 2019* The group also suggested that we reduce the number of CC/HIT slots to allow more time for progressing policy work, with an understanding that the final slots will be based on necessity and prioritization of topics. This approach aligns perfectly with the intentions of the block schedule. However, for schedule development, it may be helpful to know which of the seven slots is most likely to be freed up. Given the CC/HIT slots on Monday and Wednesday conflict with Tech Day and the GAC Communiqué, can we assume these would be the first to drop off? Again, even if not final, this guidance will help support schedule planning for your groups. Best, Tanzanica _______________________________________________ Tanzanica S.
