Hello all, We would like to recap the tools we will use this term. It is important that you all feel comfortable using these platforms and services to collaborate. ICANN Learn ICANN Learn will be your place to connect with one another, as well as where your asynchronous learning will be located. Step 1: Log into your ICANN Learn account Step 2: You will see three rectangles below the banner. The rectangle on the far right says “Collaborations Activity”. Inside this rectangle you will see “Policy Development Accelerator Workshop 1”. Click “Policy Development Accelerator Workshop 1”. Note, there is a scrolling banner directing you to do the same. Step 3: You will then land in the Workshop 1 Collaboration. On the right side of your screen you will see “Related Courses”. These are the courses that you must complete asynchronously before our April meeting. When you click on the name of the course, you will be taken directly to it. Please complete courses found in this box, even if you have previously reviewed them. From this page you can also post messages on the board and engage with one another. Step 4: After our April meeting, this Collaboration will close and we will open “Policy Development Accelerator Workshop 2” where you will find the next batch of courses to review in preparation for our May meeting. Please note, you will continue to have access to previous Collaborations after they close. Google Jamboard Thank you for your willingness to practice using a new tool on our last call. Based on the outputs observed, we’ve made the decision to utilize Google’s Jamboard instead of this new tool. For this term, we will use Jamboard for live collaboration. In order for your active contributions on our next call, you will need a Google account. If you don’t already have one, please ensure you obtain a Google account in advance of our 30 April meeting. If you are not familiar with Jamboard and would like to practice, please let us know. 24 March Session Recording The session recording is posted here: https://community.icann.org/x/IgCkEg Please note there is no need to review minutes 30:19 - 42:17 of the recording as that is where we worked with the tool that will not be used moving forward. As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on 30 April where we will workshop skills around unconscious bias and collaboration.

by Melissa Peters Allgood 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hi all, Below you will find a few reminders before our final meeting tomorrow, 19 March 2024. Role Play Exercise As you prepare for the role play exercise, use the following questions to guide crafting your assigned position: * How do you think gTLD registration data should be used? * Why do you think this? * What are your ideas or proposed solutions to the Legal vs. Natural Persons’ challenge and why? During the role play exercise, each assignment (IP lawyer, end user, privacy expert and registry operator) will get 5-10 minutes to share their approach to the questions above. After everyone shares their initial thoughts, we will engage as a GNSO working group would to find a consensus solution to the Legal vs. Natural Persons’ challenge. Remember, while you are collaborating with colleagues who have the same role play assignment, you remain individuals. The purpose of you working together is to share knowledge.This means that you don’t all have to agree on how to answer the questions detailed above. Please be prepared to speak during this session and turn on your cameras, if possible. Survey We will use the final 10-15 minutes of our meeting for an anonymous survey where you can share your thoughts on the Policy Development Accelerator. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
