ICANN70 - kickoff planning committee and call for plenary topic suggestions

[Sam Lanfranco]

One topic worth reflecting on a bit is the ICANN org position on Technical Internet Governance (TIG) and Internet Governance (IG) as a way of putting a ring fence around the governance issues that ICANN sees as within its remit. I am not sure if there are contentious issues there but a bit of time paid to a review of what TIG & IG mean, and some reflection on possible issues to be addressed, might be worthwhile. I am of two minds here. On the one had it looks like a wise and clear distinction. On the other hand there may be complications that I have not uncovered. Not sure where it should reside in the ICANN70 program.

I would just like to prevent that session on regulatory updates.  There is draft legislation going through the EU that appears to be favorable to BC interests.  We should not waste our collective precious time on draft legislation that may or may not have a chance of passing; we have already wasted quite a bit of Council time on this proposed legislation.

I would suggest a discussion of ICANN without face to face meetings....what are the pros and cons, what are the financial facts behind this new situation (it has been a year now) and where are we going in the future?

At the opportunity, this upcoming planning session will most likely discuss the outcomes of the community consultation prompted by the end of  2020 about the future of ICANN Meetings, as you might recall a survey that has circulated past ICANN69.

Whilst we are still expecting a paper about a possible new strategy to be issued by org in the upcoming days, I am also sharing with you the high-level summary of community feedback for this specific matter.

Hi all,

First of all I would like to wish everyone a happy 2021 and thank our volunteers for all the hard work and commitment in 2020.

I apologize for the short notice (we are working with deadlines set by Org): ICANN Org scheduled a kickoff planning meeting for #ICANN70 on Thursday and, for this meeting, they will be looking for suggestions for the two plenaries taking place at Icann 70.

ALAC has already proposed "Registry Voluntary Commitments and Applicant Support, as well as a cross-community policy session on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process"  and BC would like to have a "regulatory updates" plenary covering various EU and US initiatives at the legislative or executive level and how they could impact the DNS.

Feel free to comment on a new plenary or cross-community meeting topic suggestion or if we should support either BC or At-Large's suggestion. I would kindly ask you all to post and discuss your suggestions below by Wednesday 2359 UTC.

Best regards,
