To accommodate participants in multiple time zones, the CCG will host two 90-minute sessions. Data-gathering is important to the CCG's fact-finding phase. Participants are invited to share their views on the successes and challenges of past reviews (e.g., topics, structure, time frames, and recommendations). Input on how to shape a refreshed review system will also be welcome. All community members – including those new to ICANN Reviews – are encouraged to attend by registering for one, or both, of the sessions: * Tuesday, 18 November, at 06:00 UTC<https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/bC9whfQ9RxGsGJJxOHjLkg> * Tuesday, 18 November, at 18:00 UTC<https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/RM3JPStlQWmdQAbBWISLhg> In the meantime, please consider: * Becoming a Reviews CCG observer<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/pages/464355519/Obse…>. * Following the Reviews CCG's work on its community workspace<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/overview?homepageId=…>. * Providing input<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/pages/519831669/Prov…> on the Reviews CCG's work or pre-submitting questions<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/pages/519831669/Prov…> for the sessions.

These decisions followed discussions in which the Board and community identified the need to take a fresh approach to reviews. On 5 September 2025, the Board approved<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/secretarys…> a charter submitted by the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs). The Review of Reviews CCG, which began its work in September 2025, is a collaborative effort that brings together ICANN SOs, ACs, ICANN Board members, and the ICANN organization to manage a fundamental evaluation of the reviews set out in the ICANN Bylaws, as a whole system, including their implementation, and propose a refreshed system of reviews.
