Board Topics

• What are your key priorities for ICANN work in 2022, how do these priorities help achieve ICANN’s common objectives as expressed in the FY 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, and how do you see Community, Board and org moving forward together on a way to achieve these?
• If any, what suggestions would you have to enhance ICANN’s effectiveness and efficiency with regards to the process of implementation after adoption of a PDP or Review recommendations?

At-Large Responses

1) Volunteer Retention to Strengthen the MSM, diversity and inclusiveness to support the development of quality At-Large advice and public comment  At-Large Lead: Marita Moll  (10 mins + discussion)

• Has the Board ever considered a project to establish some indicators of volunteer value to the MSM enterprise?
• Categories and the toolkit envisioned through the DEI consultant are welcomed, but we ask how this will actually lead to more end-user volunteers who are willing to work at ICANN because they see their work is valued?

2) Improving Policy Development Processes - ensuring that At-Large volunteers remain an active and representative part of the ICANN community  At-Large Lead: Joanna Kulesza (10 mins + discussion)

• How might the Board ensure a balance of resources available to volunteers vs professionals in ICANN PDPs who do their work in ICANN as part of their day job?
• The need for an holistic review (Sebastien Bachollet)

3) Importance to At-Large of the Prioritisation Activity - At-Large Lead: Cheryl Langdon-Orr (10 mins + discussion)
