ICANN84 Prep Week & ICANN84 Board/Stakeholders session

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

As usual in ICANN meeting, we will have a joint session with ICANN Board.
It will be also possible to attend it remotely.
We got the communication below to ask for topics to discuss with board and
also question from them. Prior to that, there is also an online session
open to all with the Board.

Let me know your suggestions for questions and topics for the joint session.

Best regards,

Rafik


---------- Forwarded message ------Dear Noncommercial Stakeholder Group
Chair,



Our ICANN84 Annual General Meeting is already on our doorstep. The Board
and I are looking forward to seeing you soon in Dublin (25-30 October).
This will be our last meeting of 2025 - a year of exciting, challenging,
and unfortunately sad moments.



Before this important event, we also hope to see you online for our open
engagement session during Prep Week. *This session will be held on 13
October at 19:30 UTC.*



This 60-minute session led by Chris Buckridge and myself, will focus on an
essential subject for ICANN: WSIS+20 and the Future of the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF). In this session, the Board will share its visions
for WSIS+20 and beyond, including the future of the IGF, and conduct a
discussion with participants to gather their views.



In particular, the Board will focus on topics that have the potential to
impact ICANN’s mission, such as those reflected in the WSIS+20 Zero Draft.
We also welcome a discussion on the conditions and assurances that will
contribute to a permanent and improved IGF.  This exchange of perspectives
will help the Board and community identify shared priorities and inform
ICANN’s contributions to the broader WSIS+20 process.



We look forward to this opportunity to engage, and I encourage your active
participation.



During ICANN84, we will listen carefully to your specific needs during our
bilateral sessions. In keeping with our established practice, we would like
to ask this question of your group ahead of our joint session in Dublin:



*“What does the **NCSG **believe should be the Board’s and the ICANN
organization’s policy priorities in 2026, taking into consideration the new
Five-Year Strategic Plan, the WSIS+20 review, and the recently launched
Cross Community Group on the Review of Reviews?”*

We kindly request that you send any questions you would like the Board to
address during our face-to-face meetings to Board Operations . Given the
limited time for these meetings, please prioritize your questions in order
of importance. Please send these questions no later than *Friday, 17
October 2025.*

Looking forward to our discussions during Prep Week and ICANN84!



Thank you for your constant commitment to our mission.



Best regards,

Tripti Sinha

Chair, ICANN Board of Directors
