ICANN Board Session on Governance

At ICANN63, the ICANN Board asked the community, “How should ICANN’s multistakeholder model of governance and policy development process evolve to balance the increasing need for inclusivity, accountability and transparency, with the imperative of getting our work done and our policies developed in a more effective and timely manner, and with the efficient utilization of ICANN’s resources?” Based on community input to that question, as well as other input that resulted in the inclusion of Strategic Objective 2 in the Draft ICANN Strategic Plan for FY 2021-2025, “Improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model of governance,” the ICANN Board has organized this session to continue the conversation with the community. An independent facilitator will build on the conversation that began at ICANN63 to develop an evidence-based list of issues that may be addressed in a proposed future work plan. - Session Leader: Wendy Profit Staff Facilitator: Lisa Saulino
