Dear NPOC Members, I trust this message finds you well. As ICANN79 approaches, I extend a warm invitation to register <https://meetings.icann.org/en/meetings/icann79/> for the event if you haven't already done so. Please ensure to do this at your earliest convenience. Amidst our ongoing policy efforts at NPOC, I wish to highlight two key initiatives FYA during the upcoming meeting: 1. *Transfer Policy Review Policy Development Process (PDP): * The group is gearing up to seek input from the ICANN community on draft recommendations concerning Change of Registrant (COR) and post inter-registrar transfer locks. I encourage you to participate in their meetings during ICANN79 on Saturday, March 2nd, from 13:15–14:30 and 15:00–16:00 UTC-4. 2. *Expedited Policy Development Process for Internationalized Domain Names Working Group (EPDP-IDNs):* This group is nearing the completion of its Phase 2 Initial Report, including preliminary recommendations regarding second-level variant management. Join the EPDP-IDNs session on Saturday, March 2nd, from 09:00–10:00 to delve deeper into this EPDP and contribute our perspectives for when the public comment period opens. Also, please mark your calendars for the Membership Session NPOC and the GNSO Council meetings, including joint sessions, throughout ICANN79.

Most Council working sessions will occur on Sunday, March 3rd, from 9 am to 2 pm local time, with the council meeting scheduled for March 6th from 1 pm to 3 pm.

Dear all, I wanted to clarify the information for the Board/NCSG session. The topics below are the content for the prep week session that the Board is holding. Topic 1: FY26-30 Strategic Planning Topic 2: The Board’s Role & Responsibilities when Board-Adopted Policies Do Not Address the Problems They Were Developed to Solve Topic 3: Environmental Sustainability at ICANN The questions that the Board is asking NCSG are: - There is an ICANN CEO goal to have the organization develop and implement a communications and engagement strategy to address the WSIS 20-year review - what are the NCSG’s views on ICANN engagement priorities and strategies in this space? - Engagement with between groups and bodies in the ICANN space is continuing to evolve, including with the introduction of session in the Prep Week and breakout rooms on specific issues of current interest - does the NCSG have views on these new approaches or how to continue improving engagement strategies?
