The breakouts, hosted by different ICANN Board members, will focus on two topics of interest: "Advancing the Global Public Interest" and "Updating ICP-2." Following a brief welcome plenary, community members will be asked to join one of the two breakout sessions for a 40-minute discussion with the Board host for that topic. Attendees will be able to move freely between the breakout rooms. The session will conclude with all attendees coming together to hear a summary of each discussion.
