Hello GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs,



Last week, the SO/AC Leaders had a call with Goran to discuss work
prioritization and impact of COVID-19 on ICANN and the community. Here are
my summary notes:



   1. Discussion focused on the impact of COVID-19 on ICANN, the community,
   work prioritization and meeting planning.
   2. ICANN 68 almost certainly will be a remote engagement, no F2F. I
   expect we’ll receive formal notice soon.
   3. ICANN Org is developing an “engagement paper” to be shared with the
   SO/AC leaders, timing TBD.
   4. The engagement paper will lay out how ICANN will transition to a
   slower pace of work and planning for future meetings.
   5. They are looking at a 6-month rolling window of planning and likely
   no F2F meetings of any kind before September.
   6. Goran said they are assessing the prioritization level of all ICANN
   work and bucketizing them, into 5 categories:
      1. Hot Topics such as .com agreement, .org transfer, fighting DNS
      abuse
      2. Bylaws Requirements such as budget, NomCom, ATRT3
      3. Policy work such as GNSO PDPs
      4. ICANN’s technical coordination and obligations, including work
      with Verisign on RZM functions, etc.
      5. “the rest”
   7. Goran said he believes community availability is currently at 70% and
   could potentially decrease as members are impacted by COVID-19.
   8. Goran said multiple times he’s concerned about capture if key parts
   of the community are unable to participate effectively.
   9. Specific questions were raised about GNSO policy development work,
   and the need to coordinate prioritization with other parts of the community.
   10. We will have a follow-up call at some point to discuss
   cross-community prioritization in the face of COVID-19. I noted the SO/AC
   discussions we had in January have been overtaken by events, so we need to
   look at it again.
   11. Goran said no one from ICANN Org or Board has been infected at this
   time.
   12. He called on everyone to prioritize their safety and to “be kind” to
   one another.



Please let me know if you have any questions. When we see the ‘engagement
paper’ I’ll be sure to circulate it for your review and input.



Best,

Keith
