Hello Everyone,

ICANN hosted a planning meet to organize the virtual meeting for ICANN67. The schedule is streamlined to focus on the work that necessitate progress and decisions. The NPOC sessions are not included. There is hope that ICANN68 will be a face to face meeting. ICANN has prepared a FAQ page, please visit it for any questions regarding the virtual meeting. It is my understanding that a final schedule will be available sometime next week.

During the calls, these are the decisions to date:

• The timezone is Cancun, UTC -5; and

• Translations are offered in Spanish and French;

I received many emails regarding technology challenges and the costs associated with using individual phones etc and have tried to address it, will continue to ask.

I hope this helps with an update in a changing and virtual conference. We could learn a lot for the future.

I was looking forward to seeing many of you and to get some of those work that hard to complete done.

Regards,
