A New Approach to Policy Updates – Our Last Issue</h3>
<hr style="color:#f00; background-color:#e8e8e8; height:1px; border:0px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:10px;">
</div>
<div class="general">For more than nine years, the Policy Development Support team has provided monthly updates on the work of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> community related to policy development. The goal
of this effort has been and continues to be to keep all of our stakeholders (from seasoned veterans to newcomers) informed on a regular basis about the policy development related activities of our community. We have evolved this publication in that time and
continue to adapt.
<p style="margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 13px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">
We have observed over time that fewer and fewer community members are reading the updates via traditional email channels, and we believe that more will benefit from broader promotion and dissemination of our updates via social media platforms and dynamic multilingual
translations. As a consequence, this issue marks the final monthly issue of Policy Update in its present format.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 13px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">
In collaboration with the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Communications team, we will now be publishing monthly updates about policy development activities across <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s
four regional newsletters. This new content publication approach will align quality updates about policy developments with new content from <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s engagement activity teams.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 13px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">
In January, we will provide information to you via email for how to update your subscription preferences to ensure you receive your preferred regional newsletter(s). The Policy Update <a href="http://icann.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id=1c095297df&e=26892d65c1" style="word-wrap: break-word;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #005581;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;">archive</a> will
remain available, and I will occasionally post important and timely messages on the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> <a href="http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id=2130385df7&e=26892d65c1" style="word-wrap: break-word;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #005581;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;">blog</a>.</p>

Thank you for your steadfast readership of the monthly publication over the years. Policy Update would not have succeeded without your feedback and support. We hope this broader and more comprehensive communications strategy will improve the delivery of information
to you. As we continue to evolve and fine-tune our information delivery methods, I continue to welcome any and all your ideas and feedback.</p>
