[Npoc-discuss] ICANN68 Virtual Policy Forum: Schedule Now Available

[Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele]

Today, the ICANN organization published the schedule
<https://68.schedule.icann.org/> for the ICANN68 Virtual Policy Forum to be
held from 22-25 June 2020. The ICANN community took the lead in organizing
the four-day program. The schedule features plenary sessions exploring Domain
Name System (DNS) abuse and malicious registrations, DNS and the Internet
of Things, and how to advance policy work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please remember to register
<https://events.icann.org/icann68-virtual-policy-forum/registration> for
ICANN68.

ICANN68 is the fifth Policy Forum and the second virtual ICANN Public
Meeting. It is also the first ICANN Public Meeting to be supported entirely
by remote ICANN org teams working from their homes around the world.
ICANN68 will take place in the UTC+8 time zone of Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia—the original host city. Later this week, ICANN org will share more
details about language interpretation services for ICANN68.

With the goal of ensuring operational security, stability, and resiliency
of the Internet, the ICANN community develops policy recommendations
through three Supporting Organizations (SOs) and refines them through
four Advisory
Committees (ACs), all composed of global stakeholders. Policy development
at ICANN takes place through open and consultative processes such as
teleconferences, Public Comment, and ICANN Public Meetings. The SOs, ACs,
Stakeholder Groups, and Constituencies have arranged sessions during
ICANN68 to advance priority items while maintaining their regular work
schedules. I would like to thank the ICANN community for its continued
commitment to collaborative planning for ICANN Public Meetings.

To help participants prepare for the Policy Forum, please register
<https://go.icann.org/prepweeksignup> for the upcoming ICANN68 Prep
Sessions. The Pre-ICANN68 Policy Report <https://go.icann.org/pre68> and
the GNSO Policy Briefing ICANN68 Edition
<https://go.icann.org/gnsobriefing> are
available as well. Whether you are a regular participant, an occasional
participant, or a newcomer, I encourage you to engage in the ICANN68
Virtual Policy Forum.
