ICANN Board Bylaws Amendments and matters relating to the Review of Reviews
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond May 24, 2026

May 24, 2026

Dear Jonathan, I have listened to this week's OFB-WG ( https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/NIHSQQ ) call recording since I was unable to make it, as I was in transit at the time. This message serves as the comments I would have made, had I attended the call in person. I would like to put it on record at the OFB WG and that it be noted at the next OFB-WG meeting. *Presentation: Update on “Transition Article on Reviews” - Approved Resolutions | Regular Meeting of the ICANN Board | 3 May 2026 <https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> - Justine Chew - (15 mins) * In summary: * cognisant that ICANN is knowingly acting in contravention of its Bylaws by suspending its Bylaw-mandated Reviews, the ICANN Board proposed a "Bylaws Transition Article" in an attempt to retroactively legitimise this suspension. * In the Public Consultation, the ALAC commented on this proposal and raised significant concerns. * Prior to this, the ALAC had filed an Empowered Community Reconsideration Petition (June 2025) calling for reinstatement of ATRT4. * This Petition was summarily dismissed by the other members of the Empowered Community without explanation. * The ALAC has since participated in the ongoing Review of Reviews process. After consulting the Community, the Board approved a new Transition Article on 3 May 2026 (to be inserted as Article 27.6), triggering the Standard Bylaws Amendment process and therefore the Empowered Community procedures.*In proceeding with this approval, the ICANN Board has also ignored most, if not all of the ALAC Advice the ALAC provided during the Public Consultation.* Listening to the OFB-WG call recording, several points explained by Justine, have stood out that really shocked me. *Timelines and Consequences* The timelines adopted by the Board are deeply troubling: * The 12‑month suspension period begins only once the Bylaws amendment is formally approved. * This suspension can be extended by up to another year if the Board accepts Review of Reviews recommendations, or if 4 of 7 SOACs request further delay. * Only after this period would the ATR (formerly ATRT) begin - within 90 days. * The Consumer Trust Review (CCTR) would not begin until two years after 500 strings are delegated or two years (if >2000 applications are received) after 25% of them are delegated. The practical effect is stark: * ATRT3 delivered its Final Report in May 2020* - six years ago*. * The Pilot Holistic Review began in May 2024 and was halted in May 2025* - one year ago*. * One might have to wait up to another 2 years + 3 months for another ATR to take place, a process that will take 1 year to complete once it starts - thus the next recommendations from an ATR might not come before *September 2029* - a *nine‑year gap* between ATRT3 and ATR4. * With the Board unwilling to launch another Consumer Trust (CCTR) review at the same time as ATR4, we'd need to wait until ATR4 is finished for the CCTR to start. Thus the next CCTR could be delayed until *2031*, creating a *13‑year gap* since the last CCT Review (2018). This is an *unacceptable *erosion of ICANN’s accountability mechanisms. Review of Reviews CCG Discussion *ROR Review - Avri Doria and Jonathan Zuck- ALAC representatives on the Reviews of Reviews CCG - (10 mins)* In this Agenda Item of the call, both you and Avri drew attention to a critical issue: ICANN ORG has still not implemented Board‑approved CCT recommendations from *12 years ago*, and none of the proposed reforms to the review system address this failure. You said: "/none of the things that we're doing to reform the review system, which is changing the scope, changing the makeup of the teams, all these suggestions that have been put in there, none of them apply in any way to the recommendations that came out of the CCT review/". You then added: "/Nor are any of the… has there been any explanation as to why those things have not yet been implemented. So to me, that's still… there's still a hole, somehow/." [...] "/And we've talked about trying to review this in the future, as one of our reviews. How do we review ORG and their role in these things? But, I think that we need to do that as part of this review. / / And I don't know how to go about making that happen./" and Avri replied: "/And that's difficult. You know, there's constant pushback on the notion of reviewing ORG. / /Constantly./" *This should alarm everyone*. A system in which ICANN ORG fails to execute reviews, the Board wilfully suspends Bylaw‑mandated accountability mechanisms, and community advice is ignored, is not functioning as intended. *_Does this not immediately raise a red flag? _* We have a Board that wilfully ignores ICANN Bylaws and is unilaterally rewriting Bylaws "on the fly" to something that suits them - and disregards formal ALAC advice, preferring options that are further distancing ICANN from its key accountability mechanisms and pushing the whole concept of Reviews restarting further and further into the future. It is increasingly evident that ICANN’s resources (both ORG and significant parts of the Community) are *overwhelmingly *focused on launching the *next round of gTLDs*, which many expect to generate substantial revenue. This prioritisation is occurring at the expense of: * Policy development processes, * Implementation work, * Bylaw‑mandated Reviews, * Even At‑Large’s own rotation of RALO General Assemblies and Global At‑Large Summits. Meanwhile, the ICANN‑funded business-focussed Contracted Parties Summit continues uninterrupted. Had NTIA oversight still existed, *these governance failures would have triggered intervention long ago*. The Empowered Community was created precisely to replace that oversight and ensure the Board remains accountable to the Community - these changes being officially integrated into the ICANN Bylaws on 27 May 2016. One of these Rules is included in Article 25.1 of the ICANN Bylaws: Amendments to the Standard Bylaws This *requires *that the Empowered Community should give its green light for a standard Bylaw amendment to take place: /"25.1(d) Within seven days after the Board's approval of a Standard Bylaw Amendment ("*Standard Bylaw Amendment Approval*"), the Secretary shall (i) provide a Board Notice to the EC Administration and the Decisional Participants, which Board Notice shall contain the form of the approved amendment and the Board's rationale for adopting such amendment, and (ii) post the Board Notice, along with a copy of the notification(s) sent to the EC Administration and the Decisional Participants, on the Website. The steps contemplated in Article 2 of Annex D shall then be followed." /The Board approved the Standard Bylaw Amendment on 3 May 2026. Under Bylaws Article 25.1(d), the Board was required to notify the EC Administration and Decisional Participants within seven days of approving the Bylaws amendment—by 10 May 2026. I have seen no such notification, nor any posting on the EC website on https://www.icann.org/ec If this notice has not been issued, this constitutes yet another breach of the Bylaws, or at minimum an opaque process inconsistent with ICANN’s transparency obligations. *Next Steps* My proposed next step is clear: According to the ICANN Bylaws 25.1(e): /"(e) A Standard Bylaw Amendment shall become effective upon the earliest to occur of the following: [...] / /(iii) (A) An EC Rejection Notice is not timely delivered by the EC Administration to the Secretary pursuant to and in compliance with Section 2.4 of Annex D or (B) a Rejection Process Termination Notice is delivered by the EC Administration to the Secretary pursuant to and in compliance with Section 2.4(c) of Annex D, in which case the Standard Bylaw Amendment that is the subject of the Standard Bylaw Amendment Approval shall be in full force and effect as of the date immediately following the expiration of the Rejection Action Decision Period relating to such Standard Bylaw Amendment and the effectiveness of such Standard Bylaw Amendment shall not be subject to further challenge by the EC pursuant to the EC's rejection right as described in Article 2 of Annex D./ /(f) If an EC Rejection Notice is timely delivered by the EC Administration to the Secretary pursuant to and compliance with Section 2.4 of Annex D, the Standard Bylaw Amendment contained in the Board Notice shall be deemed to have been rejected by the EC. A Standard Bylaw Amendment that has been rejected by the EC shall be null and void and shall not become part of these Bylaws, notwithstanding its approval by the Board." /Under Article 25.1(e)–(f), the Empowered Community has the right to *reject a Standard Bylaws Amendment*. If the ALAC believes the Board’s action *undermines *ICANN’s accountability framework, then the ALAC *must *exercise this right. *In view of all of the above, I propose that the ALAC issue an EC Rejection Notice. **Rationale:* * The Board has wilfully ignored ALAC advice aimed at strengthening accountability. * The proposed changes unnecessarily prolong the suspension of Reviews. * The CCTR restart is pushed far into the future, despite Bylaw‑mandated implementation of the previous CCTR. * The Holistic Review - ICANN’s only comprehensive mandated review of ORG in over 20 years - has not been done. * The Board’s actions fail to comply with the requirements of the accountability mechanisms the Empowered Community was created to protect. The EC Powers were designed by the Community specifically to *make sure that the ICANN Board is subjected to Community Oversight* and the ALAC is only affirming this oversight. Rejecting the amendment is not confrontational; it is a legitimate, Bylaw‑mandated oversight function, a Right that the ALAC has - and if this Community feels that there is something *seriously wrong* with that is happening at the moment, then *it needs to act*. If the ALAC does not act when accountability is being eroded, then what purpose does the Empowered Community serve? What message does this send to the 6 billion Internet end users out there? In view of the serious consequences of inaction, the question before us is simple and unavoidable: *YES or NO. *Kindest regards, Olivier Crépin-Leblond (own views)

Yet for persons with disabilities, connectivity alone does not translate into meaningful participation. A user may be connected, possess a device, and have basic digital skills—and still remain excluded due to inaccessible design, incompatible platforms, or poorly implemented technologies. This gap calls for a conceptual shift: from access to agency. At the same time, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into digital ecosystems is reshaping how users interact with technology. AI-powered tools—such as automated captioning, voice interfaces, and assistive agents—hold transformative potential. However, they also introduce new risks, including bias, unreliable outputs, and inaccessible design layers that may deepen exclusion if left unaddressed. Against this backdrop, accessibility must be reframed not as a technical afterthought, but as a governance, rights, and development issue—central to debates on AI, digital public infrastructure, and inclusive innovation.

Statement of Interest - Public Service Annoucement & Call to Action
by mike palage.com May 7, 2026

May 7, 2026

Hello All, After today’s CPWG call, Avri and I were talking, and we were both inspired to review and update our ALAC SOIs. Just a friendly reminder to those of us who participate in the GNSO, that the ALAC SOI is separate and distinct from your GNSO SOI. While I regularly update my GNSO SOI, I was surprised to find my ALAC SOI blank, as I genuinely recall completing it when I joined NARALO. However, in the interest of openness and transparency, I have now updated and published (that may have been the previous snafu) my ALAC SOI, see https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99734312/Mi… While I still believe the revision to the SOI process is inherently gameable, it is an improvement, and we should all embrace it and put it into practice. During last week’s Contracting Party Summit in Manchester, on the panel I moderated, I made a point of listing each panelist’s SOI; see screenshot below. [Screenshot 2026-05-06 at 2.02.49 PM.png] During the last several CPWG calls, I was unable to find SOIs for several participants. I think it would be good for ALAC leadership not only to ask for SOI updates at the beginning of calls, but also to remind ALAC community members to regularly update their SOIs. I think ALAC should set the bar high and lead by example within the ICANN community. On this issue of SOI compliance, please see the email communication that I sent to ICANN’ Board Chair and General Counsel in March regarding ICANN increasing openness and transparency in connection with the army of contractors, consultants, and lobbyists it employs. Sadly, I have not heard back from any recipient, although, to be fair, things have been a little hectic with the launch of the new gTLD window. I would really like to hear the view from ALAC about whether ICANN should have an obligation to publicly disclose their growing army of contractors, consultants and lobbyists in the letter and spirit of the SOI modifications? Two phrases keep reverberating in my mind: 1) Practice what you preach and 2) What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Just because these contractors, consultants, and lobbyists may not be actively participating in a policy work group does not mean that they are not impacting ICANN policy in the hallways of ICANN meetings or in other fora. Best regards, Michael P.S. Given the policy and governance implications of this email, I have decided to cross-post to CPWG and OFB. From: Michael Palage Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 3:36 PM To: John Jeffrey ; Fiona Alexander; Tripti Sinha Subject: ICANN Contractors and SOI Requirements Hello John, Tripti and Fiona, I am doing research in connection with an upcoming article on ICANN’s updated Statement of Interest policy. And I had some questions I was hoping that you all might be able to answer. I believe the current SOI policy applies to ALL participants in the ICANN community, including ICANN contractors. Upon information and belief, I believe ICANN has/had a contractual relationship with Salt Point Strategies. The current policy provides a non-exhaustive means for community members to make a disclosure. However, I don’t see a mechanism or repository for ICANN contractors and other non-GNSO/non-ccTLD/non-ALAC community members to declare their Statements of Interest. During ICANN85, Fiona participated in a panel session. In the Zoom chat I recall making a statement about not seeing an SOIs from any of the panel participants other than Bruce Tonkin. I do not believe anyone, including ICANN staff, responded to my inquiry. Question/Request to Tripti - If the Board is serious about enhancing SOI transparency within the ICANN community, no person should be listed as a speaker/panelist at an ICANN event unless they have posted a corresponding SOI, absent extraordinary circumstances e.g. last-minute fill-in for another speaker. Do you think this is something that the ICANN Board could direct staff to implement? Question to John - Could you work with ICANN Org to provide a fail-over SOI repository for those community members that do not neatly fall within the GNSO, ccNSO, or ALAC? If you agree with this recommendation, could you give a potential ETA on when this might be available and where it would be located? Friendly suggestion, I would like to recommend SOI.ICANN.ORG as a default landing page for all SOs, AC, and other community members. If you disagree with this recommendation, I think it would be helpful to provide a public response to the ICANN Board explaining why staff chose not to implement it. Question to Fiona - Fiona, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss where you previously posted an ICANN SOI. If you have posted one, I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me to it. I also wanted to confirm the previous/existing relationship between Salt Point Strategies and ICANN. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Michael

OFB - Recent ICANN Communication wrt Applicant Support Program (ASP)
by mike palage.com April 13, 2026

April 13, 2026

Hello All, Attached please find a communication that I submitted to ICANN last night in connection with the proposed allocation of additional funds from the 2012 auction proceeds to top-off the Applicant Support Program (ASP). While I support this initiative in line with the GAC and ALAC, I believe the way Tripti and the ICANN Board have proposed to proceed is fundamentally flawed. I am posting it here because I believe this communication touches on some of the broken aspects of ICANN’s governance model. I will also be cross-posting this to the CPWG mailing list, as I believe it is directly related to a policy matter before the board. Best regards, Michael

Migrating CPWG mailing list thread to OFB mailing list
by mike palage.com April 10, 2026

April 10, 2026

Hello All. Per ALAC leadership, I am migrating the following thread from the CPWG mailing list, which was started after this week’s CPWG call. Others and I will likely create new threads, but I wanted this history to be preserved and to provide some background for those who are not subscribed to the CPWG mailing list. Looking forward to a constructive discussion on this important topic. Best regards, Michael <BEGIN CPWG THREAD> Dear All, I find the points raised particularly important from an end-user perspective, especially where structural dynamics within the DNS ecosystem may influence the effectiveness of efforts to address DNS Abuse. From the At-Large perspective, it is useful to recall that DNS Abuse is not only a technical or contractual compliance issue, but also one that directly affects user trust, safety, and confidence in the Internet. Where structural or market dynamics risk creating disincentives to act on abuse mitigation, there may be implications for the stability and accountability of the DNS as a global public resource. I also find the observations regarding vertical integration and potential imbalances in influence between different parts of the contracted parties ecosystem noteworthy. While these questions may extend beyond the narrow scope of DNS Abuse PDP 1, they appear relevant to the broader question of whether existing governance mechanisms adequately support timely and effective responses to systemic risks affecting end users. In that regard, it may be helpful to ensure that discussions taking place in fora such as OFBWG and the Review of Reviews CCG remain visible and accessible to the At-Large community, so that end-user considerations continue to inform any future structural or organizational review processes. Strengthening feedback loops between policy discussions and review mechanisms could help ensure that emerging risks are identified early and addressed in a holistic manner. Ultimately, maintaining confidence in the multistakeholder model requires that all stakeholder groups, including end users, are able to meaningfully contribute to discussions where structural or economic factors may affect policy outcomes related to DNS Abuse. I therefore support the suggestion that we consider how best to channel this discussion into the appropriate fora while ensuring continuity of the issues raised here, particularly where they may have longer-term implications for end-user protection and trust in the DNS.

Or, deemed a distraction being not PDP framed? Given the substance of the issue, engaging the most policy-active and informed end-user representatives is not only appropriate but a necessary first step to any upstream action. Or, is mine a peculiar view of this group? Let us be clear. This group through the ALAC can direct an intervention on any matter whatsoever fitting the description of end user interest. It need not be packaged through the lens of a PDP. I could have missed it but I do believe the case is made the matter under discussion has some end user impact. If the objective is to advance this discussion meaningfully, redirecting purely for ticking the right “venue” box is not persuasive.

I note that it has generated considerable discussion. The concerns raised regarding input by the registries and registrars is valid. This underscores the importance of consistently engaging with and providing feedback to the At-Large community through the CPWG, so that when the team speaks, we accurately reflect the positions of the ALAC/At-Large in advancing the interest of end users. That said, while the discussion is certainly valuable, as Justine noted, much of it extends beyond the scope of the DNS Abuse PDP 1. Thanks for initiating this conversation. CCC On Thu, 9 Apr 2026 at 08:44, Roberto Gaetano via CPWG <cpwg(a)icann.org<mailto:cpwg@icann.org>> wrote: Hi all Another bit of history. During the Vertical Integration WG - I co-chaired the WG - the issue of unbalancing the relative power between Registries and Registrars has been raised. The problem is that while Registries cannot have a preferential relationship with a Registrar, because if they provide strategic info to one Registrar they are obliged to distribute the same information to all ICANN accredited Registrars, the reverse is not true. The result is, in a vertically integrated Ry&Rar, that if the owner is the Registrar strategy can be developed in the Registry (their subsidiary) but being the Registrar the formal owner there is no obligation to diffuse anything. That only few people in the Vertical Integration WG have seen this coming, while the ICANN Board did not, is quite worrisome, whatever the reason for the underestimation. OTOH, it has taken years before some effects of this situation did surface - like the attempt (failed) to put PIR (.org) under the control of a Registrar. Cheers, Roberto On 09.04.2026, at 00:27, mike palage.com<http://palage.com/> via CPWG <cpwg(a)icann.org<mailto:cpwg@icann.org>> wrote: Alan, This is one of the reasons I have repeatedly been beating the drum about ICANN’s failure to undertake a comprehensive economic study of the unique identifiers that ICANN holds a monopoly over through the IANA function. On the issue of vertical integration, the ICANN Board acted unilaterally in approving the change and has never undertaken a proper economic or legal analysis of its decision. The listing/marketing fees that Registrars are imposing on Registry Operators are a silent tax on prospective TLD applicants that most do not fully appreciate. Reading between the lines of the CPH Summit session on "do not enrage the channel" basically discourages innovation at the Registry Level. Instead of applauding the ZERO instances of DNS abuse in fTLDs TLDs, most Registrars do not want to be bothered. They just want all Registries to be the same cookie-cutter business model. Anyone up for an economic fact-finding excursion? I know where the bodies are buried. I just need some help digging them up and documenting them. Best regards, Michael From: Alan Greenberg <greenberg.alan(a)gmail.com<mailto:greenberg.alan@gmail.com>> Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at 4:19 PM To: mike palage.com<http://palage.com/><mike(a)palage.com<mailto:mike@palage.com>> Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff via CPWG <cpwg(a)icann.org<mailto:cpwg@icann.org>> Subject: Re: [CPWG] DNS Abuse PDP Sadly, I tend to agree with Mike. Eons ago when the GNSO Council was reorganized, one of the rationales for two SG (Rr and Ry) was that their interests were different. Vertical integration reduced that, but the overriding consideration that Registries do not want to go against their customers was and has been largely ignored. It takes something VERY important to Registries to disagree with Registrars. Generally, they either agree, or simply stay quiet. That results in a pretty impenetrable barrier. Alan On Wed, Apr 8, 2026 at 12:29 PM mike palage.com<http://palage.com/> via CPWG <cpwg(a)icann.org<mailto:cpwg@icann.org>> wrote: Hello Claire, I just wanted to document my Zoom intervention on today’s CPWG call here via the mailing list to hopefully spur additional discussion. Claire I will document my concerns here and in the CPWG mailing list. Louie Touton’s original General Counsel had a saying that ICANN’s mission is to protect competition, not individual competitors’ business models. All too often in ICANN’s current PDP, Registrars and Registrars flex their de facto veto authority at the GNSO to impede real, meaningful change. Why this is BAD for ICANN is that it demonstrates that certain aspects of ICANN’s multistakeholder model have been captured, thus leaving disenfranchised members to resort to national laws, see NIS2, Chinese Real Name Verification, India litigation, etc. Sadly, one can see the handwriting on the wall on how this PDP will end, and one needs to look no further back in history than the transfer PDP. The registrars will get almost everything they want, and ALAC will get some consolation footnote about addressing their concerns in future work. Registrars will be out in force in this PDP as they are the tip of the Abuse spear since most Registries have now gone thin. Registries will largely remain silent because they do not want to alienate their channel or incur higher listing/placement fees. In fact, the importance of Registries NOT upsetting their Registrar channel is a topic of an upcoming session at the ICANN Contractual Party Summit, see https://cpsummit2026.sched.com/event/2GbE1/how-to-engage-and-not-enrage-the… Thoughts?

ATTENTION- OFB WG- ICANN's Annual Strategy Review Program - inputs no later than 30 April 2026.
by Silvia Vivanco March 29, 2026

March 29, 2026

Dear OFB-WG members, On behalf of the OFB-WG, kindly see below the following message ***** Dear Community members: ICANN’s Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2030<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/strategic-plan-fy2026-2030-2023-11-22…> is designed with a five-year horizon, yet the environment around us constantly evolves, making it both prudent and healthy to periodically review the Strategic Plan for relevance and adaptability. The annual strategy review program is the process through which we ensure that the assumptions underpinning the Strategic Plan still hold, and to stay alert to emerging trends. At ICANN85, ICANN Planning held a series of Environmental Scan sessions to identify new or emerging strategic trends. The purpose of these sessions was to gather insights, observations, and perspectives from across the ICANN ecosystem that will inform how we view the future strategically. For information on the session please see the recording on this page: https://icann85.sched.com/event/2GwoJ/icann-annual-strategy-review If you were unable to attend these sessions, we still welcome your input on any emerging strategic trends that you would like ICANN to receive as input. Attached please find the session Pre Reading materials and a template that you can use to provide your perspective on emerging trends. Please send this input to the planning team via email at planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>. ICANN welcomes receiving your insights observations, and perspectives about ICANN’s Strategic Plan at any time. However, to be included in the Annual Strategy Review analysis for this cycle, we would appreciate receiving your inputs no later than 30 April 2026. Becky Nash and the ICANN Planning team planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>.

CPWG Review of Reviews
by Maureen Hilyard Dec. 11, 2025

Dec. 11, 2025

Good morning all I'm glad I was awoken early by a rooster (yes, it still happens!) and remembered the OFB-WG meeting. And I'm glad I checked in, as I was really interested to hear about the progress of the RoR group from JZ and Avri. And it reminded me that just over a year ago, on behalf of the OFB-WG, Joanna, Marita and I volunteered to undertake a rather extensive list of expectations relating to the Continuous Improvement Programme. Our first draft to the next OFB-WG meeting, was met with a request that the draft required some SMART objectives. While this offered us a challenge - especially over the Xmas period - we persevered nonetheless and submitted a not quite finished draft to the OFB-WG in early January 2025. At that meeting, we were told by the At-Large CIP reps that we had overstretched our responsibility, and had only needed to focus on the first section. Because of this omission of instruction, the remainder of our efforts were ignored which was really disappointing because we felt they contained some important issues for At-Large. Therefore, after hearing this morning's presentation I wondered if our original review, while an internal perspective, may be helpful to the RoR team. I am submitting it as our hopeful contribution to your discussion, and to also recall the considerable effort that was made by our small team over the Xmas period 2024-25.

Fwd: Announcement posted FYI
by avri Nov. 6, 2025

Nov. 6, 2025

I probably don't have posting privs to most of these lists. Hopefully someone will pass them on . Come speak your piece! Avri -------- Original Message -------- From: Karen Lentz <karen.lentz(a)icann.org> Sent: November 6, 2025 10:07:54 AM EST To: Chris Disspain <chris.disspain(a)identity.digital>, Manal Ismail <manal(a)tra.gov.eg>, avri doria <avri(a)doria.org> Cc: Chris Disspain via Supportstaffreviewsccg <supportstaffreviewsccg(a)icann.org> Subject: Announcement posted FYI https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/advancing-the-icann-reviews-… Advancing the ICANN Reviews Conversation: Join the Cross Community Group Webinars 6 November 2025 ________________________________ The Review of Reviews Cross Community Group<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/overview> (CCG) invites the community to continue the conversations about ICANN Reviews during webinars on Tuesday, 18 November 2025. 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. Background In May 2025, the ICANN Board approved a set of resolutions<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> calling for a community dialogue to design a review program that is fit for the intended purposes of enhancing ICANN's accountability, transparency, and effectiveness. 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. More information about the Review of Reviews and the CCG can be found on its community workspace<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDOR/overview?homepageId=…>.
