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.

FYI. -ed ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 1:29 PM Subject: [ALAC] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Publishes FY21 Q2 Unaudited Financial Results To: ALAC <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org>, <ofb-wg(a)icann.org> [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN Publishes FY21 Q2 Unaudited Financial Results <https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P022C0800BEGRNv0gd>* 16 February 2021 LOS ANGELES – 15 February 2021 – On 10 February 2021, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) published its unaudited financial results through the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The ICANN financials are available here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/wR8EN0dCP0000g2C0022H0v>. In addition, on 1 February 2021, Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) published its unaudited financial results through the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The PTI financials are available here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/j2DR022PC00080gNEdI0v00>. ICANN remains in a strong financial position despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Through December 2020, ICANN's actual funding is in line with prior years. Moreover, expenses have been lower than prior years primarily due to travel restrictions. Please see both sets of financials for more details. ICANN and PTI publish quarterly financials in an effort to be transparent and accountable. The financial results have been published quarterly for many years but the accompanying announcement is a new measure meant to create more awareness of the results, which are usually posted 45 days after the quarter end. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. About PTI Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN responsible for performing the IANA functions, which include management of the DNS root zone, the global IP address space and other protocol parameters that support Internet operation. PTI was formed in 2016 following a transition of stewardship to the multistakeholder community that relies upon the IANA functions. PTI performs the IANA functions under contract from ICANN.

RALO Chairs are meeting one-to-one with ICANN CEO Göran Marby on February 26
by Eduardo Diaz Feb. 16, 2021

Feb. 16, 2021

All: This meeting is always scheduled a few weeks before each ICANN meeting. It provides the opportunity for RALO Chairs to ask anything about ICANN as a whole. RALO Chairs are asked to provide a *couple* of questions in advance to make the most of the time as we have about 1 hour for this meeting. To this effect, I'd like to know what you would like me to ask Göran. Please send me your questions directly (ie off the list) by February 16th. I will compile your questions and circle back to all of you on the 17th requesting to rank order them if I receive more than two questions. The idea is to identify the two most pressing questions in the region. By the way, all questions will be anonymous, that is, the name of the author will not be used. I will report back to you with his answers. Gracias. -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.

Algo como esto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCEtWsv9HQw&feature=youtu.be [youtube.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCEtWsv9HQw&feat…> Este tipo de promociones generalmente se construyen en herramientas complejas como Apple Motion o Adobe AfterEffects pero, si bien estas herramientas son increíbles, puedes lograr algo bastante bueno, MUCHO más rápido, en PowerPoint.

More evidence of the decline of "memorable" domains
by Evan Leibovitch Feb. 13, 2021

Feb. 13, 2021

As I've said before, the greed and rent-seeking of the domain industry has been doing an excellent job driving both providers and consumers of Internet services to seek alternatives to "memorable" domain names. Every Google search and every Facebook corporate page gives people a more-useful way for people to get what they want from the net. One more recent manifestation of this phenomenon caught my eye. Ten years ago airlines started putting their web domains boldly on the side of their planes. But now we have this: [image: Azores-Airlines-Airbus-A321LR-e1562685732426.jpeg] It's on all their planes. and consumers know what to do when they see it. Use the QR code or search Azores Air. Who needs to know that it's a Portuguese airline with a .pt domain? Who needs to care? The FQDN is in small print while the other access methods predominate. This is where things are going, folks. Don't believe the hype. And don't pay the ransom. Almost everyone who defends the ruse has a vested interest in maintaining it. Evan Leibovitch, Toronto Canada @evanleibovitch / @el56

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.

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.
