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.

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.

New ICANN course
by Ioana Stupariu Feb. 25, 2021

Feb. 25, 2021

Dear all, There is a new ICANN Learn course entitled “Enhancing Your Listening Skills” which may be of interest to you and your organizations> The ICANN community works hard to discuss and implement Internet governance policy by bringing people together from all over the world. In addition to the logistical challenges of communicating over a wide variety of technological tools such as chat, emails, conference calls, video conferencing, and in-person ICANN meetings, we also face communication challenges coming from different language and cultural backgrounds. Developing good listening skills is essential for everyone in the ICANN community, whether you are new and learning your way around the various Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees or are a long-time ICANN volunteer now serving on the Board of Directors. This module, which is part of the three-part series, will focus on identifying typical listening barriers and applying several different methods for overcoming barriers to effective listening. You will have to login to ICANN Learn (https://learn.icann.org<https://learn.icann.org/>) to access the course here >> https://learn.icann.org/#/online-courses/b7ac289a-1e9d-4524-b267-3a4e9468da…. If the link does not work, please go to Catalog >> Skill Building, and select the course. Happy learning!
