Stay Knowledgeable and Informed on Policy Development Efforts to Prepare for ICANN54

As the community broadly focuses on the IANA Stewardship Transition and the work of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANNAccountability, policy development efforts continue to progress within our Supporting Organizations and ICANNAdvisory Committees are maintaining focus on their individual work plans.

These important SO-AC efforts are at the core of ICANN's mission, and keeping track of the various complex issues and work efforts is a challenge for all members of the community. The Policy Development Support team is committed to increasing access to information about this work. Since ICANN53, the various regional newsletters distributed by our Communications team have featured highlights from policy development efforts as well as an overview of current public comment proceedings.

Our Policy Development Support team will continue to collaborate with staff colleagues across ICANN's various departments and hubs to ensure this information is current and promoted regularly via all available platforms, including social media channels. Our goal is to keep the entire community knowledgeable and informed about this work, making participation and engagement more efficient and effective.

With ICANN54 approaching, the Policy Development Team is also preparing for the Pre-ICANN54 Policy Update Webinar. Two sessions (10:00 UTC and 19:00 UTC) will provide updates from across the policy development community and preview what participants can expect in Dublin. Please sign-up for the webinar and receive remote participation details by completing this form.

Our next issue will focus exclusively on ICANN54 news and developments. Until then, please read about ongoing work in the ASO, GNSO, ALAC, GAC, and RSSAC in this issue or the most recent issues of the APAC, EMEA, or LAC newsletters.

Best regards,

David Olive

Vice President, Policy Development Support
General Manager, ICANN Istanbul Hub Office
