You are invited to participate the inaugural APRALO Policy Forum Fireside chat: "Let’s Talk about GNSO PDP 3.0" on Thursday 26 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Justine Chew will be chatting with her guest, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, the immediate past ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council.
Justine and Cheryl look forward to having participants for their informal conversation on a few key aspects of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)'s operating procedure for consensus policy development for Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs).
Given that a significant proportion of the At-Large Community's participation in ICANN multistakeholder policy development is centered around its contributions towards consensus policies on gTLDs, it would be helpful for the At-Large Community to understand how the GNSO policy development process (GNSO PDP) works, and where and when At-Large participation in GNSO PDPs is needed. This can be facilitated through a general appreciation of the GNSO Operating Procedures and Related Documents such as the Policy Development Process (PDP) Manual, the Expedited GNSO Policy Development Process (EPDP) Manual, the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Manual, as well as the implementation of GNSO PDP 3.0 in introducing incremental improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of GNSO PDPs.
Do you feel daunted in reading or hearing about all these long-worded terms or references to multiple names and documents? Would you like a refresher on how At-Large plays a role in consensus policy development for gTLDs within ICANN? Do you want to find out how you can get involved in At-Large discussions on policy issues from an individual end user's perspective?
Fear not! Come along to Justine and Cheryl's conversation on Thursday 26 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC.
Don't forget to pre-register your participation! And if you have any, please let us have your questions on this topic by posting them as comments to this wiki page below; or if you prefer, submit them by emailing staff at staff@atlarge.icann.org

Participants' Post-Event Comments
"For someone who is fairly new to direct ICANN activities, “Let’s Talk About GNSO PDP 3.0” fireside chat was immensely resourceful, providing a scoop of encouragement to embark into policy development. Not only did it inform on the various technicalities within the PDP, but also motivated us to be patient, speak up and survive the tedious task and time revolving around policy discussion and implementation. Both Cheryl and Justine were great resources, opening their vault of priceless experiences with us. I believe conversations like these are great initiatives for outreach and engagement within and beyond the ICANN community. " ~ Samik Kharel
"I would like to commend APRALO's Fireside Chat on GNSO PDP 3.0. It was great listening to Cheryl Langdon-Orr, a Policy Development Process Guru in my humble opinion, talk about what it takes to participate in ICANN processes more so the GNSO PDP 3.0. My take home was her call to action, if you subscribe to a policy process be active, otherwise sign up as an observer. The session was very insightful, I look forward to future sessions." ~ Barrack Otieno
"This is a necessary initiative that will help the community overcome the gap in knowledge and engagement that was accumulated over the online-only era. One potential improvement could be the addition of a third member to the panel to focus solely on community interaction, while the host focuses on engaging with the guest. That would optimize both fronts of interaction." ~ Mark Datysgeld
"The APF fireside conversation on GNSO PDP 3.0 played an important role in introducing end-users to different stages of PDP wherein we can be involved as an observer/active participant and efficaciously contribute to an informed consensus on key policy issues. Justine’s perspicacious questions and Cheryl’s endearing, cogent responses ensured that this informal discussion enabled us to grasp some key aspects of this seemingly complex process. In addition to some fun facts, we developed a deeper understanding of a few things. For example, I wasn't aware of the evolution of PDP. I also never knew that the process of developing an issue report can become redundant in certain scenarios wherein scope and issues had already been well defined and this might call for an ‘expedited’ PDP. Conversations like this help us to deepen our understanding of the eco-system that drive key policy decisions at ICANN. It will still be helpful if some post-reads or FAQs are shared at the end of the conversation for participants as a recap or a way forward to build on their learnings from these informal conversations in a more structured manner." ~ Prateek Pathak4.
