Small report from 1:1 with ICANN Interim CEO
by Juan Manuel Rojas Nov. 1, 2024

Nov. 1, 2024

Dear all, I would like to apologize for the delay in providing this report on our recent meeting with the ICANN Interim CEO. As you may recall, we gathered some questions from our side to address during the discussion. The first question concerned a harassment lawsuit and what actions ICANN (both the Board and org) are taking to address harassment within the community. It's important to remind all our members that the Board Anti-Harassment Working Group has been working to evaluate and strengthen the ICANN Community Anti-Harassment Policy. This draft policy will be published for public comment in the coming weeks. ICANN enforces this with a zero-tolerance approach toward harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. The next question was about updates regarding access to ICANN information via an API or unified portal. ICANN org has committed to investigating additional APIs for various data feeds. They will continue to ensure open access to data and will work on incorporating more data over time. New initiatives are regularly introduced at ICANN that may fall outside the scope of current projects, but ICANN will include them as they arise. The final question concerned ways in which NPOC can better support ICANN. On this topic, her suggestion was to focus on the Applicant Support Program and to target underrepresented communities and regions. From her perspective, ICANN has learned valuable lessons in reaching underrepresented areas, which will help encourage participation in the Next Round of New gTLDs.
