Fadi has had or is planning a few individual conversations with community groups, but we thought some broader community engagement opportunities with ICANN senior executives would also be helpful so that Fadi, Tarek and Theresa could: § Provide background and context of the recent I-Star discussions leading to the Montevideo statement; § Explain the Board/Staff partnership in this effort; § Explain what has been done to date and share perceptions of the recent IGF-Bali meeting; and § Highlight next steps/prep plans for Brazil next April. As a result, we have arranged for two community webinars scheduled for next Friday, 8 November at 1200 UTC and 1900 UTC so that the team can share its thoughts and field community questions and comments. We are scheduling two separate sessions to cover the global geographic spread of the community and hope that you will be able to share information about the opportunity with your communities. Each session will be an hour long and any questions or comments that the team can’t get to on the calls will be saved for further discussion in Buenos Aires.
