Siranush *About* The ICANN Policy Transition Program creates opportunities for newer ICANN community members to cultivate substantive knowledge on a specific policy topic, while fostering relationships and value in service through connections with experienced ICANN community members. The Policy Transition Program will meet monthly via Zoom, from September 2023 to March 2024, and will explore *gTLD Registration Data: The Temporary Specification and Beyond.* Participants will receive sequential modules that will include background summaries, webinar and session recordings, and other relevant resources that offer differing points of view. Participants are expected to study these materials and participate in both interactive discussion sessions with subject matter experts and on a dedicated mailing list. Participants will also engage in a small group role play project. ICANN org Policy staff will facilitate these interactions. The program is intended to support participants’ understanding of the gTLD registration data policy topic and their ability to contribute to current and future policy development in this area. *Eligibility* Candidates from all regions and sectors are welcome to apply to the Policy Transition Program. Before completing the expression of interest, participants must ensure the leadership of their ICANN community group supports their participation in this program. *Requirements* Policy Transition Program participants are expected to: - Dedicate approximately five hours per month to the program - Actively participate in asynchronous work, both in individual and small group settings, between virtual meetings - Participate in monthly meetings with a start time between 11:00 – 13:00 UTC - Complete the post-meeting survey *Expression of Interest* .
