• View a list of sessions that will NOT take place at Meeting B:  ICANN53 SCHEDULE: MEETING B SESSIONS 

Proposed sessions/activities by group for Meeting B:

Notes:

• Outreach activities are defined as activities conducted by SO/AC groups or cross-community groups with the intention of increasing awareness and interest in ICANN with individuals and organizations outside of the ICANN community.
• *ICANN to develop a focused plan for Meeting B outreach activities to maximize opportunities.

Notes:

GNSO Assumptions

• The focus of all meetings is expected to be on policy development – the Council as well as Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies are expected to factor this into their planning and limit any other topics to a minimum taking into account that less time is available compared to the A and C meetings.
• Further co-ordination and discussions will need to be held in relation to Day 1 especially with regards to how to attract the target audience for this particular aspect of the meeting (for example, co-ordination with members of ICANN’s Global Stakeholder Engagement Team will be essential).
• GNSO (PDP) WG Status Updates are provided in the form of a webinar for the GNSO Council and GNSO Community leading up to the B meeting. Based on these updates, the GNSO Council decides which efforts require further discussion as part of the GNSO (PDP) WGs Follow Up session which is currently foreseen for Tuesday morning.
• Preparation for the joint sessions on Tuesday afternoon would be carried out in advance of the B meeting, either as part of a GNSO Council meeting or a separate session so that only limited time is needed on Tuesday (to confirm whether any other topics have come up in the interim period that would need to be added).
• There will likely be one or more collective sessions such as an opening session for meeting B that will need to be accommodated in the schedule. Further information on these is expected to be available shortly. For now, an opening session on Monday morning has been tentatively included.
