Dear Community Leaders:

Thank you very much for attending ICANN58!

Over the course of six days, nearly 2,100 participants contributed to advancing the mission of ICANN. We hope the 348 sessions of the Community Forum allowed for dynamic cross-community discussions and substantive intra-community work.

This Post-ICANN58 Policy Report captures updates from the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, including ongoing policy development processes and advisory activities.

The ICANN community develops and refines policies that ensure the security, stability, and resiliency of the global Internet, and the ICANN organization is proud to facilitate this work.

Accountability and transparency were at the forefront of ICANN58. The meeting featured two Public Forum sessions as well as a new question and answer session with the executive team of the ICANN organization. From reviews to Work Stream 2 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability, the ICANN community continues to advance its commitment to these values post-IANA stewardship transition.

 
In collaboration with the community, the ICANN organization will continue to evaluate the recommendations of the Meeting Strategy Working Group. Your feedback is important to this process, and we hope you participated in session surveys via our mobile app. 

We look forward to seeing you in Johannesburg, South Africa for the ICANN59 Policy Forum.
