Hello NPOC Members, The ICANN Board is preparing for Kobe and asking the Constituencies for input Specifically, they are looking for high-level input on: 1. What the Board, ICANN org, and the Community should be doing now to prepare for the successful implementation of these plans? Please make *three suggestions* as concrete as possible, providing one each for the Board, ICANN org, and the Community. 1. While the success of these plans lies primarily within ICANN, we all know that ICANN does not operate in a vacuum, and alliances and partnerships are important to our success. How can we increase the likelihood that important allies and partners in the space are on the same page and working together to achieve common/agreed upon goals? Please provide *one suggestion* of something that could be done externally to improve trust and collaboration. Please send your questions no later than *Monday 18 February, 2019 or sooner*.
