Dear SOAC Leaders and Members of the Community Meetings Planning Group,



Thank you for your prompt responses to the SSAC's proposal for a plenary
session at ICANN85 on Internet resiliency (more specifically: "From
Stability to Survivability: ICANN's Role in the Future of Internet
Resilience"). Given the support that has been expressed, we have updated
the ICANN85 block schedule accordingly, as you will see in the attached PDF
document.



As you review this proposed final block schedule and begin to finalize your
session planning with one another and your staff support teams, please take
note of the following:

   - As mentioned, we have removed the proposed Board-community dialogue
   pilot and replaced it with this plenary session.
   - We understand that placing this plenary session in the Block 2
   90-minute slot on Monday is not ideal for some community groups. As the
   previous second plenary slot was placed in a 75-minute afternoon slot on
   the last day of the meeting, however, we hope that providing you with this
   proposed final block schedule at this time will allow you to assess what
   sessions and topics you wish to schedule against the Monday Block 2 slot.
   - As a further reminder, none of the so-called “plenary” slots (marked
   in yellow in the attached schedule) are intended to be unconflicted
   sessions, so all groups may schedule sessions in the same slot if they
   wish. Staff will be more than happy to work with you to ensure that your
   programming for these sessions is responsive to other ongoing sessions
   while providing your community with as much flexibility as is realistically
   possible to move forward with your plans.



We will follow up with the SSAC and this group on planning for and
organizing this new plenary session. In addition, and as noted, for ICANN86
we will look at a more structured and earlier way for proposing and
selecting plenary sessions that we hope will maintain the transparency and
equity of the planning process while remaining nimble and lighter than the
former process that some community members found unnecessarily burdensome.
Thank you!



Cheers

Mary & Nathalie
