<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks, one more issue that caught my attention. '' However, it's important to acknowledge that individual national perspectives continue to significantly influence discussions and approaches to these issues, both within our community
and beyond it, notably within the UN First and Third Committee who are looking into regulating international cybersecurity and cybercrime on a treaty basis.'' Based on the trends, it appears Stewardship of the Internet's key resources might also be an area
of interest to governments since we cannot extrapolate Cybersecurity issues, not sure if everyone is happy with the Status quo. Issues such as omission of the Tech Community from the proposed definition of stakeholders in the GDC are just a tip in the Iceberg.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:106%">It's clear that within the GAC and beyond, across the ICANN community, there is strong support for the multistakeholder model as a key component
of the current framework for Internet governance. However, it's important to acknowledge that individual national perspectives continue to significantly influence discussions and approaches to these issues, both within our community and beyond it, notably
within the UN First and Third Committee who are looking into regulating international cybersecurity and cybercrime on a treaty basis. While there is general support for the WSIS and NetMundial discussions within the GAC, it's noteworthy that geopolitical debates
are increasingly shifting further away from our community and our community persepctive might be forever less representative for the global attitude shifts.<br>
<br>
The GAC has previously emphasized the importance of ensuring that ICANN's plans, positions, and intentions regarding the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the WSIS+20 review encompass the multistakeholder model and recognize the role of the technical community.
Concerns have been raised about the absence of the technical community in the originally proposed definition of stakeholders in the GDC. The GAC has highlighted that both: ICANN.org and the ICANN community play a crucial role in these discussions and should
actively contribute to shaping their direction. Coordinated input from all constituencies and individual ALSes is therefore urgently needed.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps. If more information would be useful, please don't hesitate to reach out.<br>

Warm regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

successful meetings with the Board, Address Supporting Organization (ASO), Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), Contracted Parties House (CPH), Nominating Committee (NomCom), and Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). These sessions covered a
