<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) organization will host a webinar on the draft Operating Standards, which will be released for public comment on 17 October. This <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4">Bylaw-mandated</a> document
has been compiled by the ICANN organization with community input (see below). It contains guidelines and best practices for ICANN's four specific reviews.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">During the 19 October webinar, the ICANN organization will provide an overview of the draft, explain the underlying principals, and highlight the existing review best practices and processes on which these
draft Operating Standards are based. The aim of the session is to inform the community, answer questions, and provide an opportunity for some initial community feedback. The webinar is part of the wider community-outreach that includes a <a href="https://schedule.icann.org/event/CbHX/cross-community-session-operating-standards-for-specific-reviews">cross-community
session on Review Operating Standards</a> on Monday, 30 October (15:15 – 16:45) during ICANN60 and an extended public comment period that will remain open until 11 December 2017. Input received from the community will determine the timeline and finalization
of the Operating Standards moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The purpose of the Operating Standards, once adopted, is to centralize existing operational best practices and to bring consistent rules, clarity, and transparency to ICANN's four specific reviews: Competition,
