TOP STORY
Welcome to the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum
The ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum is officially underway. Though the

President & CEO Göran Marby and ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman express
their thanks to the ICANN community for its flexibility in embracing the
new format. They also highlight some of the priorities for ICANN67. Watch
their messages below.

SESSION RECAPS
RECAP: ICANN Org Operating Plan and Budget Session, Sunday 8 March
Agenda: Following the close of the Public Comment period, this session
focused on reviewing the comments received on both the Five Year
(2021-2025) Operating & Financial Plan and FY21 Operating Plan & Budget,
and engaging with the ICANN community on the goals and content of both
plans.

Highlights:
Session started with an explanation of the planning process and timeline,
followed by a review of the comments that were received during the Public
Comment period, which ended December 2019, for the Five Year Operating &
Financial Plan and FY21 Operating Plan & Budget.

ICANN org provided an overview of ICANN’s various funding sources and the
org’s approach to projecting its funding and expenses for the Five Year
Operating & Financial Plan.

ICANN org solicited feedback, input, and questions on the various Public
Comments and the content of the two plans, to allow ICANN org to better
understand the community’s views as the staff report on Public Comments is
developed.

Next Steps:
ICANN org will consider and incorporate the feedback received during the
session as it develops the staff report on the comments received during
Public Comment period. This report is scheduled to be posted on 27 March
2020.

ICANN67: BEHIND THE SCENES
Changing to an all-remote meeting requires plenty of setting up and prep
work. ICANN’s Meetings Technical Services (MTS) team spent the last week
unpacking, servicing, and setting up all of the equipment necessary to run
our first entirely virtual ICANN Public Meeting.

All eight conference rooms in our Los Angeles office have been taken over
by MTS, in order to simultaneously run eight separate Zoom sessions. In two
of them, we’ve setup sound-insulated interpretation booths, so that our
interpreters can connect to a Zoom session and interpret in Spanish or
French in real-time.

Each virtual room will have two dedicated MTS technicians, who are
responsible for ensuring that presenters are able to speak, managing the
recordings, and troubleshooting any technical issues that arise. Getting
everything ready for our first virtual Public Meeting has been quite the
effort, but we’re confident that the prep work we’ve done will allow
ICANN67 to run as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.

NEXTGEN@ICANN AND ICANN FELLOWSHIP
NextGen and ICANN Fellows: "See You Soon!"
The NextGen@ICANN and ICANN Fellowship program is not taking place as
scheduled at ICANN67, but the selected participants are still joining the
Virtual Community Forum.

All ICANN67 Fellowship slots will be deferred to ICANN69 in Hamburg,
Germany and NextGenners will join ICANN70 in Cancún, Mexico, in 2021. The
ICANN67 selection and any attendance at the virtual sessions will not count
against the program participation limits.

Our selectees are excited to join us in the future:

“I am really happy about the decision to reschedule our participation for
ICANN70. I now have the opportunity to work on my presentation and include
more results from my research that is still in progress. Hope to see you
there.”
Federica Tortorella NextGen@ICANN Program

"This virtual meeting is an excellent chance for the first time Fellows to
prepare to the next in-person meeting. The community and the Fellowship
program leaders always invest a lot of effort into the onboarding process;
nevertheless it is very easy for a Fellow or a NextGenner to get lost in
the meeting. Remote participation will help the meeting in Germany go more
smoothly."
Artem Gavrichenkov, Fellowship Program

We look forward to seeing the participants soon!
Celebrating International Women’s Day
By Becky Burr
ICANN Board Member

On Sunday, 8 March, the world celebrated International Women's Day. This
important day honors the achievements of women. As a member of the ICANN
Board, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the many
important contributions to the security, stability, and resiliency of the
Internet that the women in our ICANN community make each and every day.

Women have traditionally been underrepresented not only in the technology
industry, but in the decision-making bodies that shape policy. I became
involved in Internet governance in 1996 and a member of the ICANN Board in
2016. A recent study from Deloitte consultancy
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PjVODDzyUiqJugauEi129B9_PgjDua-SkMfdLXX1GtsM-...>
showed that women hold just 16 percent of board seats globally, and it
could take more than 30 years to achieve parity. I’m proud to be part of a
community that recognizes that equality in representation is important. Our
ICANN Board is made up of seven women, each from a diverse set of
backgrounds, perspectives, and goals. We recognize the importance that our
voices make in helping shape policy at ICANN.

There have been many pioneering women involved in the creation and
expansion of the Internet - women like Radia Perlman
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PjVODDzyUiqJugauEi129B9_PgjDua-SkMfdLXX1GtsM-...>,

Joyce Reynolds,
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PjVODDzyUiqJugauEi129B9_PgjDua-SkMfdLXX1GtsM-...>
and many others who have broken down barriers and created opportunities for
women all over the world. It’s important that we build on their legacies
and help mentor girls and young women to participate in ICANN.

The theme of this year's International Women’s Day is "an equal world is an
enabled world." ICANN’s multistakeholder model not only invites a diverse
set of voices to participate in the decision-making process, it requires
it. At ICANN, our global community works every day on the global public
interest. We use the phrase “global public interest” because the Internet
is a resource available to the entire world. People across the globe have
an interest in the technical coordination of the Internet. ICANN helps
bring those voices together and equality of representation of those voices
is critical.
