[image: image.png] The last time that we had the privilege of attending a presentation by Bill Jouris, in one of our NARALO monthly meetings, was in August 2019 (see recording HERE <https://icann.zoom.us/recording/share/RksA3k3y8Nt6jURP7_rkaUYyhg9G1SFqQEN9U…> starting at 1h04). The title of the presentation at that time was "Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) and the Latin Script" where he covered, in easy to understand terms, the concept behind IDNs and the Latin Script. On January 11, 2021 @ 20h00 UTC, Bill will be presenting an expanded version of its original presentation by including homographic DNS Abuse risks associated with IDNs. Sinopsis: *"**A year ago, I did a presentation on the basics of IDN: what it meant and what was going on. This time, we talk in more detail about it. We look at both what new opportunities it offers for those whose language of choice is not English. And we look at what (unintended) negative consequences are possible. Sometimes it's just a failure to communicate. But sometimes IDN can facilitate DNS Abuse*.*"* Add event to Google <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20210111T…> , Outlook <https://outlook.live.com/calendar/0/deeplink/compose?body=The%20last%20time…> , Office 365 <https://outlook.office.com/calendar/0/deeplink/compose?body=The%20last%20ti…> or Yahoo <https://calendar.yahoo.com/?desc=The%20last%20time%20that%20we%20had%20the%…> calendars.

Final questions submitted from NARLO for the one-to-one meeting with ICANN CEO Göran Marby on February 26 with RALO Chairs
by Eduardo Diaz March 15, 2021

March 15, 2021

I received a total of five questions from the region for this meeting and submitted three. My apologies for not consulting with you all on their prioritization. The questions submitted are as follows: 1. How do we continue to value our volunteers in the ATLARGE community while ICANN refuses to pay their stipend for full participation at the ICANN meetings. It's nice that ICANN is saving funds but we are seeing a massive ZOOM exhaustion and frustration by the community. 2. Where are the ICANN Strategic plans in terms of the promise of Universal Acceptance? Are we on target or window dressing? 3. There are a bunch of activities listed in the budget fy22 in the section "Community Engagement and Services; Public Responsibility and Support" (p.280) and some money and staff attached to it. A few of them are listed. below. The report also says that work on these items "depends on clear community and organizational public responsibility priorities and cross-functional collaboration." (p.282). That's a lot to unpack. Who sets these priorities? How do the RALOs fit into these -- how can they contribute. Some activities (selected):: • Lead research and expertise: Support for public responsibility initiatives within ICANN’s remit in the areas of diversity, human rights, anti-harassment, public interest, and continue to support pre-implementation coordination efforts of New gTLD Auction Proceeds recommendations. Work on human rights initiatives includes those internal to ICANN org and those with community-driven objectives assigned as a result of the planning process. • Lead diversity programs: Fellowship Program, N △ Improve existing and explore possible new mentoring structures for the NextGen and Fellowship programs based on community feedback. △ Identify and deliver effective anti-harassment training opportunities across the ICANN community. △ Community to decide whether the proposed public interest framework can be used to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. -ed -- *NOTICE:* This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.

ICANN70 Planning DUE TOMORROW: ICANN Board Interactions with ICANN Communities during ICANN70 From: ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman Dear ICANN community chairs, First of all, let me take the opportunity to reiterate on behalf of the ICANN Board, our best wishes to you and your families for a healthy 2021. We have all been very affected (and still are) by this long-lasting pandemic and will never spread enough of those positive thoughts and messages of hope for a brighter future! We very much look forward to seeing you in person, hopefully later this year, even if today it is not possible to predict when it will be responsible to do so again. The ICANN Board has recently been briefed thoroughly on your input to the ICANN Public Meetings Strategy and wanted to thank you all for your constructive contribution to this important survey. The suggested changes will be implemented by ICANN org, and the ICANN Board will of course actively participate in the dialogue to find the best possible way forward in this, together. ICANN70 will mark the next step. In line with the decision to organize ICANN70 virtually and considering the current global situation with regard to the pandemic, various communities are arranging different times to engage the ICANN Board, either before, during or after ICANN70. We have learned to appreciate the opportunity to have this conversation during ICANN Public Meetings, and the survey conducted after ICANN69 confirmed that you do as well. Up until ICANN69, the ICANN Board has proposed a subject to you to discuss during our joint meetings. For ICANN70, we would like to invite you to propose questions for the ICANN Board to answer, or a subject to engage in an open discussion during our time together. Please note that we are not changing the current total time allotted per community. Please send your single topic or list of questions in order of priority to the Board Operations team, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, no later than Friday, 26 February 2021. Your suggested questions or topic for discussion will be published and circulated in this digest, which will facilitate transparency and allow all communities to deepen their understanding of community issues and different points of view. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions, or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively.

ICANN community members will have the opportunity to participate in trend identification sessions via their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN org will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule their sessions over the next few weeks. We are targeting to complete the trend sessions by the end of March. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually. ICANN community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. Once complete, ICANN org will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. The Strategic Outlook Program is a joint effort of ICANN org, community, and Board to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that these opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy.

ICANN70 Planning DUE THIS WEEK: ICANN Board Interactions with ICANN Communities during ICANN70 From: ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman Dear ICANN community chairs, First of all, let me take the opportunity to reiterate on behalf of the ICANN Board, our best wishes to you and your families for a healthy 2021. We have all been very affected (and still are) by this long-lasting pandemic and will never spread enough of those positive thoughts and messages of hope for a brighter future! We very much look forward to seeing you in person, hopefully later this year, even if today it is not possible to predict when it will be responsible to do so again. The ICANN Board has recently been briefed thoroughly on your input to the ICANN Public Meetings Strategy and wanted to thank you all for your constructive contribution to this important survey. The suggested changes will be implemented by ICANN org, and the ICANN Board will of course actively participate in the dialogue to find the best possible way forward in this, together. ICANN70 will mark the next step. In line with the decision to organize ICANN70 virtually and considering the current global situation with regard to the pandemic, various communities are arranging different times to engage the ICANN Board, either before, during or after ICANN70. We have learned to appreciate the opportunity to have this conversation during ICANN Public Meetings, and the survey conducted after ICANN69 confirmed that you do as well. Up until ICANN69, the ICANN Board has proposed a subject to you to discuss during our joint meetings. For ICANN70, we would like to invite you to propose questions for the ICANN Board to answer, or a subject to engage in an open discussion during our time together. Please note that we are not changing the current total time allotted per community. Please send your single topic or list of questions in order of priority to the Board Operations team, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, no later than Friday, 26 February 2021. Your suggested questions or topic for discussion will be published and circulated in this digest, which will facilitate transparency and allow all communities to deepen their understanding of community issues and different points of view. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions, or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair DUE THIS WEEK: ICANN70 Publication Support Translation-only Deadline For translation, please provide the final material(s) by Friday, 26 February 2021. This ensures that there is enough time to translate the publication. If the publication requires design assistance, please note that the final materials will have to be complete, including the edit/approval process, by this deadline in order to be translated. Please work directly with your support team to submit these requests to evin.erdogdu(a)icann.org and liana.teo(a)icann.org. REMINDER: ICANN org Finance and Planning Updates during ICANN70 From: Xavier Calvez, Senior Vice President, Planning and Chief Financial Officer The ICANN org Finance and Planning teams seek opportunities to engage with the ICANN communities during ICANN70 or via webinars to present a short updates on finance- and planning-related topics: Finance - Financial Results: FY20 and FY21 Year-to-Date - Accountability and transparency reporting Planning - Draft FY22-FY26 Five-Year Operating Plan and Financial Plan - Draft FY22 Operating Plan and Budget - Review of Public Comment submissions and next steps in the planning process - FY23 Planning Process and Strategic Outlook Trends Please contact becky.nash(a)icann.org to request a briefing and please let us know if you have any other finance and planning topics.
