<div dir="ltr"><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Thanks Rafik. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">It was a very well organized meeting and I appreciated the brewed tea instead of a terrible tea bag! </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I have to first thank Andrea for all the support for the HRIA session. She went above and beyond to provide us with our last minute requests. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">The geopolitical forum is always a monologue. I don't know why. so I support the suggestion to have a webinar before and just have Q&A but I also think we don't need Q&A we need issues that need to be addressed and give the community a chance to express it at the mic. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default">For the community sessions, I don't know what we want to do with these cross community sessions but they are so time intensive that you have to attend all the organizing calls to be able to put the name of a noncommercial in. Also the topics, they were not very up to date I have to say. Can we invite some external experts as well to talk about geopolitics.They need a total revamp otherwise each session every meeting is going to have the same representative covering the same talking points. </div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I liked the half an hour/an hour reception after each day in other meetings, it really allows us to hang out with other members of the community before we go to our receptions, dinners etc and we can have informal policy conversations. Is that something that we do only during Community or policy forum? If too hard to have a reception, maybe we can do networking breakfasts? They don't have to do the catering, I just think we can get more chances to talk to other community members. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I didn't know they had switched the public forum to the morning and I missed it. Well my fault for not checking the agenda carefully but then the switch didn't make sense, it always made better sense to have it right before the Board AGM. But I don't know how others felt about it. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">This is again my bad, but our session on human rights and dns abuse was packed. So if we want to do some similar stuff we should specify a larger capacity. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">The transcription of this meeting was a bit off. Maybe I just paid more attention. Also I don't know if it's my ears or the equipment, but I sometimes had difficulty hearing people and others told me that audio quality has been poor in the rooms in recent ICANN meetings (so it's not venue related). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh </font></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 27, 2024 at 11:49 PM Rafik Dammak via NCSG-EC <<a href="mailto:ncsg-ec@lists.ncsg.is">ncsg-ec@lists.ncsg.is</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Hi all,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Those are points from the ICANN planning meeting. </div><div dir="auto">Any comment/feedback would be appreciated.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best regards,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rafik </div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Nathalie Peregrine via SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org" target="_blank">soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org</a>></span><br>Date: Tue, Nov 26, 2024, 20:08<br>Subject: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] Action Items from ICANN82 Production call #1 and Doodle next call<br>To: <a href="mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org" target="_blank">soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org</a> <<a href="mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org" target="_blank">soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org</a>><br></div><br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">ICANN81 Feedback:</span></b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The feedback from ICANN81 was mainly positive. The venue location with hotels close by, as well as restaurants and cafés, was appreciated. The abundance of seating areas allowed for additional conversations. Having food
stalls available at the venue was extremely helpful. However, certain room sizes and seating were deemed insufficient as several sessions were held with standing room only given high attendance. The height of speaker screens in the GAC room will need adjusting
to avoid speaker discomfort. The issue of session conflicts whilst improved upon, needs continued focus. The suggestion was made to add a Zoom poll at the end of the Community Session to gather immediate feedback.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here are the main items raised for consideration for ICANN82:</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">Areas needing improvement based on ICANN81 feedback: </span></b><u></u><u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">room size information,

</span><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">session conflicts,
</span><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">adding a Zoom poll to the end of the Community Session.
</span><u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">These items have been duly noted as action items for staff support.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US"> </span></b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">ICANN83 Block schedule:</span></b><span lang="EN-US">
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li style="margin-right:72pt;margin-bottom:5pt;margin-left:18pt">
<span lang="EN-US">The geopolitical forum is well attended, but lacking in interaction opportunities. The suggestion was made to hold the update section of the session during Prep Week, and a shorter, interactive section during the ICANN meeting. This would
also free up a 90-min slot which will assist with SO/AC scheduling. </span><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-right:72pt;margin-bottom:5pt;margin-left:18pt">
<span lang="EN-US">Most on the call were in favour of keeping the Community Session, but agreed that the topic decision would need to be made closer to the time.
</span><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-right:72pt;margin-bottom:5pt;margin-left:18pt">
<span lang="EN-US">The Q&A with the ICANN Executive team is a useful session, especially in the light of the new CEO coming onboard in the next few weeks. Sally will confirm the format of the community/CEO exchange with Kurtis and will come back to the group.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-right:72pt;margin-bottom:5pt;margin-left:18pt">
<span lang="EN-US">The joint ccNSO/ ICANN Board session will ideally take place on Tuesday or Wednesday, instead of the current slot on Thursday.
</span><u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If community leaders would be so kind as to socialize these points with their members ahead of the call next week, this would be extremely helpful. An updated Block Schedule will be circulated ahead of the call incorporating
the input received. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you all!</span><u></u><u></u></p>
