[ALAC] Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] ICANN66 - Constituency Sessions - Topic from the Board

Mon Sep 23 08:34:55 UTC 2019

Dear ALAC colleagues

Id be interested in any comments related to the latest email (Below) from
Cherine with regards to our interaction with the Board in Montreal.

*They'd like to have ONE question from us that we can have an indepth
discussion on.*. I think they quite enjoyed the discussion that took place
in Kobe so that it has now become the norm.  So does anyone have a burning
question they'd like to have it out with the Board??  And anyone to take
the lead on that?

*At the same time they'd like our feedback on their three key strategies *that
they have completed (the Strategic Plan) as well as those that they are
still working on  (Operating and Financial Plan for FY21-FY25, and the
Multistakeholder Plan)  Also I'd like a team of volunteers to speak on
behalf of At-Large on each of these topics - the penholders?

Maureen

Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Groups Chairs,

*Please reply no later than Monday 14 October 2019*

The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during
our 21st AGM that will take place in Montreal between 2-7 November 2019.

We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in
particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have
received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable
face-to-face meetings.

Starting in Montreal, instead of sending up to three questions to the
Board, we would like to offer you the *alternative* option of choosing a
single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic.

We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be
shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to
increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own
understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues.

As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to
answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to
address the Board’s topic.

In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to
have an open discussion with you:

*“Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three
critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future. : (1) Strategic Plan FY
21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to
improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.”*

The Strategic Plan
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/strategic-plan-2021-2025-24jun19-en.pdf>
has
been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN 65 in Marrakech.  The two
other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December
2019.

At ICANN 64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to p*rovide three
suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the
Community *of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to
implement  these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by
our Bylaws.  In addition, the Board asked for *one suggestion* of something
that could be done *externally* to improve trust and with our partners
and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on
some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security).

Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested
actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share
and discuss with you in Montreal.  We will send you that list in advance of
our meeting in Montreal on or before 11 October 2019.

We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (
board-ops-team at icann.org)  your single topic or the  list of questions
(max. 3), in order of priority, no later than *Monday 14 October 2019 or
sooner.  *

For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per
group nor the room set-up.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to
improve our interaction further.

We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to
welcoming you in Canada!

Best regards,

Cherine Chalaby

Chair, ICANN Board of Directors
