From ergys.ramaj at icann.org Tue Jan 24 16:04:39 2017 From: ergys.ramaj at icann.org (Ergys Ramaj) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 16:04:39 +0000 Subject: [PublicInterest] ICANN58 Plans - Please Share Your Thoughts Message-ID: Dear all, The deadline to submit session requests for ICANN58 is 30 January 2017. To date, there have been no specific community requests for a meeting that builds on previous discussions to explore the concept of the public interest at ICANN. Since we are only one week away from the deadline, I wanted to solicit your thoughts on whether a session is needed at the forthcoming meeting. This includes ideas on any related sub-themes/topics and speakers. Kindly note that the scope of these discussions must be anchored in the Mission/Commitments/Core Values section of the new Bylaws, which require that "that the bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development process is used to ascertain the global public interest." For easy reference, the full agenda and related materials from the last meeting at ICANN57 in Hyderabad can be found here: Key takeaways from the Hyderabad discussions are also attached for additional context. (Please let us know if your spot any inaccuracies with staff's summary notes so that we can correct them accordingly.) We will continue to provide the needed support and help facilitate these discussions per the community's guidance.
