Question 2 – I believe the top priorities shall be: 1. New gTLDs - Guarantee that the whole process of the New gTLD round, including all steps until the final grantee will be efficient, transparent, and fair. 2. Geopolitical aspect – the world shall see ICANN as a unique model that englobes the whole community and as such, ICANN could use more of the relevant members of the community as fingers to touch local issues, well debated to understand more clearly the local aspects not seen from the outside. 3. Strategic Plan – bring to the table all issues that are in all international discussions and how those issues will impact the future of ICANN - as AI, the Future of Work and Environment to keep ICANN aligned with all countries and organizations nowadays discussions My 2 cents Vanda Scartezini From: ICANN At-Large Staff via lac-discuss-en <lac-discuss-en@icann.org> Date: Wednesday, 30 October 2024 at 19:26 To: lac-discuss-en@icann.org <lac-discuss-en@icann.org> Cc: Jonathan Zuck <JZuck@innovatorsnetwork.org>, Justine Chew <justine.chew.icann@gmail.com>, hadia Elminiawi <helminiawi@gmail.com> Subject: [lac-discuss-en] REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: ICANN81 Board Questions to the ALAC Dear All, On behalf of Jonathan Zuck, ALAC Chair, you are requested to add your comments to two of the questions that the ICANN Board has asked the ALAC for discussion during the ICANN81 Board meeting with the ALAC.
