NCSG Policy Priority Topics for the upcoming year

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Tomslin,

Thanks for the email.
The main goal is to go from being reactive to being more strategical and
planning ahead. In terms of policy topics, we can see what is coming based
on the GNSO ADR but there are also non policy topics like holistic review
or activities and open consultation initiated by ICANN org and board. There
are other places where we can identify the topics such as ICANN strategic
and operating plans for FY25-30, public comments schedule and any
communications from ICANN org.

We need as a group to identify what are the top priority topics for us, to
have members who can lead it, track it, inform us and be able to intervene
when needed. Knowing what are our priority topic means we can focus more
effectively, know where to spend our efforts effectively and more
importantly what is aligned with our goals and principles.
It will also help to plan ahead such as having related webinars, initiating
discussion threads, setting meeting agenda with those topics etc.  It will
be a big change for us on how to operate and we need everyone's support and
involvement on the matter. It will also give more visibility and help
members to follow discussion more easily and will give more structure.

Best,

Rafik
