FYINA ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tomslin Samme-Nlar <mesumbeslin(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue., Sep. 6, 2022, 5:07 p.m. Subject: Call for Volunteer: GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Initiation Request for Applicant Support To: <NCSG-DISCUSS(a)listserv.syr.edu> Dear NCSG, During its meeting on 25 August 2022, the GNSO Council approved the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Initiation Request <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-subpro-g…> to perform work on Applicant Support, a topic of interest to NCSG. Each SG has been invited to identify *1 Representative to join this Working Group *. Here is the criteria that the GNSO Council considers to be important for this GGP: *Organizations are encouraged to appoint individuals with skills, knowledge and experience pertinent to forming an effective Applicant Support Program. Council will provide guidance on the aggregated skill set that is needed for the group (for example: grant and reviewing, regional DNS participation, DNS marketplace economics, cost-benefit analyses, TLD operations, DNS cyber-security, and TLD investment).* If you meet the above recommended criteria, please email to me your expression of interest and copy Andrea (andrea.glandon(a)icann.or) indicating how you meet the criteria above *no later than Friday 16 September* to give the Policy Committee 2 weeks to review and select. Members should also note that in addition to the representative we'll appoint, the GGP permits Observers to the process. Observers are anyone interested in the GGP, who are provided with read-only access to the mailing list and are not invited to attend meetings. Those interested to be an observer should directly contact the GNSO Secretariat at gnso-secs(a)icann.org to sign up. Warmly, Tomslin @LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomslin/

Moreover, some COVID-19 safety measures are required by Malaysian law. All visitors to Malaysia are required to download, register, and activate the MySejahtera <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018AluzjGxtTIuHL0yc7tUmWs7RCBFLkoYcF0QZIGI5uP…> contact-tracing app before arrival. Under Malaysian law, face masks are required to be worn indoors. In addition, those who test positive for COVID-19 while in Malaysia must report their positive result to the Ministry of Health and quarantine for seven days. The ICANN organization is also making some improvements for ICANN75 based on community feedback. We are aiming to reduce, or even eliminate, the need for session registration and waitlists by modifying the minimum physical distance required between participants. For more information on the ICANN75 health and safety measures, read my blog <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018AluzjGxtTIuHL0yc7tUmWs7RCBFLkoYcF0QZIGI5uP…> .

Fwd: [Fellowship-Alumni] **New Engagement Opportunity - Policy Transition Program Pilot**
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele July 20, 2022

July 20, 2022

FYI NPOC Fellowship alumni. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Melissa Peters Allgood via Fellowship-Alumni < fellowship-alumni(a)icann.org> Date: Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 11:03 AM Subject: [Fellowship-Alumni] **New Engagement Opportunity - Policy Transition Program Pilot** To: fellowship-alumni(a)icann.org <fellowship-alumni(a)icann.org> ICANN Fellowship Alumni, On behalf of the Policy team, I’d like to share an exciting new pilot initiative slated to begin in October 2022 – the *Policy Transition Program*! The program is the natural next step for Fellowship alumni who are interested in active policy participation at ICANN. Participants will engage in specific policy knowledge-building, cultivating a deeper understanding of current and forthcoming policy matters, while building community relationships and value in volunteerism. *GOALS * - Cultivate a pool of knowledgeable volunteers adequately prepared to participate in substantive policy activities at ICANN. - Connect ICANN community groups with individual members seeking to contribute to policy matters. - Foster community, relationship-building, and value in volunteerism through connections with veteran community members. *APPROACH* *Deep dive into a current policy issue – the specific policy topic of the pilot is forthcoming* - Participants will receive focused primer materials including background summaries, webinar and session recordings, and relevant resources that offer differing points of view. The goal is to provide program participants a well-rounded set of materials on the policy topic. - Participants are expected to study these materials and participate in session activities, facilitated by Policy staff, to further their understanding of the policy topic. - Participants will use a dedicated mailing list to ask substantive questions and engage in targeted discussions. - Program participants will engage in interactive discussion sessions with subject matter experts (SMEs) and/or active community members. - We anticipate finalizing the policy topic by 1 August 2022. *Community building* - Targeted Fellowship alumni will act as guest speakers, sharing their experiences within ICANN policy development and the personal value they derive from participation. *Support connections between newcomers and existing community * - Program sessions have four distinct goals: - Provide a forum for interactive policy topic discussions with SMEs. - Support participation in a guest speaker series targeted at substantive policy engagement and the value of volunteerism. - Foster connections between participants. - Provide a forum for existing community members to engage with newcomers. - All sessions will be conducted via Zoom as this program does not have travel funding. *MEMBERSHIP * For the pilot, participation will be limited to Fellowship alumni who are either currently affiliated with non-commercial groups within the GNSO, or those who are currently unaffiliated, and wish explore opportunities for contribution within GNSO non-commercial groups. If you are interested in participating or learning more, please email me at Melissa.allgood(a)icann.org by 15 August 2022. We look forward to working with you!

This effort is critical to ensuring that the multistakeholder model is able to evolve and meet the ever-changing needs of ICANN's global community. The Implementation Operations team is offering an up to 30 min interactive update on this project, more specifically on the evaluation methodology, which is used to assess the current projects/initiatives that are supporting the MSM. If you like this update to be part of your constituency/committee ICANN75 agenda, please email giovanni.seppia(a)icann.org and/or negar.farzinnia(a)icann.org. We look forward to working together on enhancing ICANN’s MSM. *NEW:* *SubPro ODP Update: Focus on the Systems and Tools Work Track* Throughout our work on the new generic top-level domain (gTLD) Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Operational Design Phase (ODP), I've been communicating about how this effort is organized.

Closely paired with that effort is Work Track 4, Systems and Tools. It includes the proposal, design, and implementation of secure, private, and efficient systems for future gTLD application rounds. Developing the processes for ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement is also included in this track. Read more.
