I support Pedro’s submissions. We can discuss AFRINIC, its present
challenges, and lessons for everyone as a separate topic, rather than
combining it with the WSIS+20

>> Dear all,
>>
>>
>>
>> Thank you to those of you who joined the ICANN83 Debrief and ICANN84 Kick
>> off call earlier today. For those of you who couldn’t make it, please find
>> the recording
>> <https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/fzgBwfIJ9YkzomyLqDMT_ILVA2ymk5QioLcKkZ1TC6RLc-3b0q3qqou-4gBSMycX9b4jz-AgEKFQYNul.joLtNYKI0J85CXjp>
>> as well as the slide deck attached. Below are the summarized main points
>> discussed today:
>>
>>
>>
>>    1. *Feedback from ICANN83, Prague*
>>
>>
>>
>> The overall impression was positive. The closeness to public transport
>> was appreciated, as was the venue and the size and setup of the rooms. We
>> were reminded of the importance of accessibility to the venue and to
>> sessions. The Meetings team was congratulated on the speed with which these
>> issues were resolved. It was noted that wide availability of power outlets
>> will be very beneficial to attendees, though it was understood that this is
>> largely dependent on the venue.
>>
>>
>>
>>    2. *ICANN84 location change to Dublin*
>>
>>
>>
>> Following the announcement
>> <https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann84-annual-general-meeting-relocated-30-06-2025-en?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5QoxCs6JbycvpcmoHsJvuPJmuvrf2wLc7r47ci8v1UcKM9xygwlKpty5HHNg_aem_M--NCBkRMsINnrgPJmsxvA>
>> published on Monday 30 June 2025, the location of ICANN84 is now Dublin.
>> Further information on travel as well as hotels will be published on the
>> ICANN meeting website shortly.
>>
>>
>>
>>    3. *ICANN84 Block Schedule and timeline*
>>
>>
>>
>> The proposed block schedule (see attached) has been updated with an
>> additional proposed community session on Thursday, in addition to the
>> session already scheduled on Monday. This proposal reflects the importance
>> of the topic of Reviews that was evident at ICANN83. By having a second
>> community session on the final day, following the traditional Constituency
>> Day meetings and joint sessions, the thought was that ICANN84 would provide
>> a productive opportunity for the Board and community to advance the work.
>> It was agreed that there will need to be inter-sessional preparations and
>> discussions to enable the work to move forward expeditiously, as well as a
>> possible Prep Week session.
>>
>>
>>
>> A few other topics were proposed as potential plenary ideas for a
>> community session. It was noted that the overall schedule may be
>> sufficiently flexible to allow for some topics to be hosted by specific
>> SOAC groups as open plenaries, which is already the practice in one or two
>> groups. The main idea is to make sure that any community sessions and other
>> plenary-type sessions are confirmed and placed on the block schedule prior
>> to the opening of the Event Management System request period, to allow for
>> maximum flexibility and for each group to decide how it wishes to schedule
>> its own sessions.
>>
>>
>>
>> As per the timeline (attached), a deadline of Friday 11 July was proposed
>> for members of the ICANN meeting Planning Team to consult with their
>> community groups as per the action item below.
>>
>>
>>
>>    4. *Action Items – by Friday July 11 2025 *
>>
>>
>>
>> *All: *Kindly consult with your community members and raise any
>> objection to the idea of holding two community sessions on the topic of
>> ICANN reviews on this ICANN Meeting Planning mailing list
>>
>> *All:* Kindly consider the additional topics (listed below) for sessions
>> proposed during the Kick Off call, and indicate if your group supports
>> including any of them at ICANN84. Please also share any suggestion you or
>> your group may have about how to accommodate additional topics in the
>> ICANN84 schedule.
>>
>>    - The Applicant Support Program (Jonathan Zuck)
>>    - The topic of Accuracy (Rafik Dammak)
>>    - AFRINIC & WSIS +20 (Sebastien Bachollet)
>>
>> *All*: Bearing the above in mind, please share any additional topics
>> your group believes should also be considered as a session of broad
>> community interest at ICANN84, and your suggestions for how to accommodate
>> it.
>>
>> *Topic Proposers*: Please share further details about the topic you have
>> proposed, e.g., session objectives, format, scope and desired outcomes
>> ASAP. This will help the group decide, if necessary, what topic(s) should
>> be accommodated at ICANN84 and why.
