ICANN72 starts today with the Joint meeting: NCSG & ICANN Board

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Hello NCSG,

Hope this email finds you all well and in good health for us to start
another ICANN meeting.

Our agenda for ICANN72 is rather simple and starts today with the following
meetings:

16h00 UTC - Joint meeting: NCSG & ICANN Board
19h30 UTC - GNSO Council Priorities and Prep Session

For our meeting with the board, everyone is very much welcome and I would
like to call special attention from our leadership - PC and EC - and
Constituency chairs and incoming leaders to also join. As you all know,
staff often asks us to send the questions for the board meeting in advance
and I have submitted the following:



*1. On the FY22 Goals document developed by the ICANN Board we can find
 "Goal 9: Work with Internet governance stakeholders around the world who
share the objective of one open Internet for all". With regards to this
discussion, we would like to point out that its pretty much welcome but can
also be interpreted as a rather broad goal. Therefore  NCSG would like to
ask the Board what are the steps that you envisage? How do you ensure that
it still preserves the multistakeholder model within ICANN? What is
"healthy collaboration", what does it mean? Lastly, what about the
governments which do not share objective of the open internet? *
*2. What are the plans for our return to F2F/Hybrid meetings? NCSG would
like to discuss and learn how the decisions are going to be taken, what
factors are going to be weighed in, in particular about vaccines. And what
is a back up plan if we return to the meeting but some people can't travel.
Has the Board considered experiences of hybrid meetings? If yes which ones*

Look forward to seeing you all tonight and wish everyone a good ICANN 72!

Best,

--
