A New Approach to Policy Updates – Our Last Issue</h3>

<div>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="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica; COLOR: #606060; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-ALIGN: left; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 1em 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px">
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>

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>
