Hi,

>From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking
place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board.
In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to
consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board:

1.  What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have
any suggestions for how it could be improved?

2.  What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the
ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the
global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant
by the GPI in the specific case)?

3.  How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO),
Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or
cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing?



The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance
documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a
bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for
the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These
considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but
could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment
to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations,
advice, and public comments are in the globalpublic interest. This includes
the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest
determination the latter must make in its decisions.
