ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know



    ICANN Blog

    Author: Nicholas Tomasso



As ICANN57 draws closer, I want to provide some clarity on how this meeting
will be different from past meetings, and what you should expect.



In 2014, the ICANN Board approved the community’s New Meeting Strategy &
Implementation Plan, which outlined the structure for ICANN’s three yearly
meetings. ICANN56 in Helsinki was our first ever “Policy Forum,” which was
shorter than prior meetings, and focused on community policy work.



In contrast, ICANN57 will be longer, with 7 days of sessions. The third
meeting in the three-meeting annual cycle, ICANN57 is the “Annual General
Meeting.” It aims to showcase the ICANN community’s work to a broader
global audience, while also having days dedicated for Supporting
Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) work.



Due to unforeseen circumstances, we moved ICANN57 to Hyderabad, India. As a
result, ICANN57 will be taking place Thursday, 3 November 2016 to
Wednesday, 9 November 2016. Here is a general overview of what you can
expect during each day of the meeting:



There will be two Public Forums during ICANN57, similar to ICANN55 in
Marrakech, which was the first meeting of this “New Meeting Strategy.”
Public Forum 1 is scheduled for Saturday, 5 November 2016, and will provide
an opportunity for each SO/AC to update the community on their efforts,
followed by time for the community to share their topics of interest.
Public Forum 2 will focus on solely community comment and Board response,
and is scheduled for Tuesday, 8 November 2016.



We will be holding a webinar on 7 September 2016 to provide the community
with a full update on ICANN57, including information on logistics,
accommodations and travel. Details on obtaining a visa will also be shared
during the webinar, and as well as being posted on the ICANN57 meeting
website. Make sure to keep an eye out for our webinar announcement, and
join us then.
