<div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div>On behalf of our Chairman of the Board, Steve Crocker:</div><div>"In our ongoing efforts to improve the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Meeting experience for all participants, we are implementing some changes for the June meeting in Prague.</div><div>The Friday morning program, which in the past has comprised AC/SO
committee reports, Board committee reports, and the public Board
meeting, has been removed.</div><div>AC/SO committee reports and Board committee reports will now be published for review on the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> website.</div><div>The public Board meeting has been replaced with a one-hour session
following the Public Forum on Thursday afternoon. In this session the
Board will outline what they have heard during the week from their
meetings with AC/SOs and their constituent parts and will identify those
matters they expect to be dealing with between the Prague and Toronto
Meetings.</div><div>The close of this session (expected to be around 18:00) will mark the official end of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> meeting and will be immediately followed by a two-hour farewell reception for all <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Meeting participants.</div><div>It is intended that at the beginning of the Toronto meeting there
will be a Board community session where the Board will report to the
community on what they have dealt with since Prague.</div><div>We believe that the removal of the Friday public Board meeting and
its replacement with two Board community sessions will improve the
effectiveness of both the Board and the staff and increase the time that
the Board has to interact with the community.</div><div>We hope you find these changes also make more effective use of your time and enhance the overall <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Meeting experience. The Public Participation Committee will hold a public session in Toronto to discuss and review them."</div></div>
