Hello NCSG, I'm reporting on a significant development in ICANN's Continuous Improvement Program that Ben mentioned to us during Monday's Policy call. The Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG) has officially concluded its framework development work, having successfully incorporated all recommendations gathered during the consultation phases. ICANN announced the publication of the finalized framework yesterday: *https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-announces-publication-o... <https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-announces-publication-of-continuous-improvement-program-framework-08-07-2025-en>* This completion represents the successful conclusion of the 18 months collaborative effort. among community volunteers from across ICANN's structure from Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and the Nominating Committee who brought diverse perspectives and specialized knowledge to the framework development process. With the framework now published and the CIP CCG's mandate fulfilled, the program transitions into its implementation phase. Each Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, and the Nominating Committee will now begin developing their individual assessment plans and executing their respective CIP evaluations. The full announcement and framework details are available through the link provided above for you to look over and refer to. That concludes my report on this development. -- *Caleb Ogundele* Email: muyiwacaleb@gmail.com
