[NCSG-EC] [Ext] Re: [NCSG-PC] ICANN84 Block Schedule, Production Timeline

[Wisdom Donkor]

 The topic *'Sustainable Digital Identities for Civil Society: Challenges
and Opportunities in DNS Policy'* looks good. If possible, I suggest
presenting the opportunities before the challenges to set a positive tone
and highlight the potential benefits upfront. This can help inspire
engagement before addressing the more complex issues.

Thanks

>> receive the invitation in your inboxes shortly.
>>
>>
>>
>> Please bear in mind the following:
>>
>>
>>
>>    - The draft block schedule follows a thought process stemming from
>>    what worked at previous AGMs and equally other ICANN meetings. It can
>>    however be modified and tweaked according to your collective input. The
>>    joint Board / SOAC sessions are penciled in and can also be changed.
>>    - The production timeline shows an estimate of the deadlines by which
>>    scheduling steps should have taken place. The timeline has been stretched
>>    across July and August to allow for sufficient preparation time.
>>
>>
>>
>> Looking forward to reviewing ICANN83 and preparing ICANN84 with you all
