<p class="MsoNormal">We hope that ICANN76 was a constructive and enjoyable meeting for you. Now that it has drawn to a close, we are starting to look ahead to ICANN77, to be held in Washington DC in June in just under three months. You will receive a calendar
invitation shortly for the first kick-off planning call, which we are proposing be held on Thursday 30 March.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, for ICANN77, ICANN org would like to propose a session that commemorates a few important milestones in our collective history. Please see the attached document for a description of the session we have in mind. We are proposing
that this session take the place of the customary Geopolitical Forum, which means that in terms of scheduling there will be
<u>no</u> impact on the community’s sessions (i.e., all community groups will continue to have the same amount of time as usual for the Policy Forum). We will plan to provide the regular geopolitical updates as a webinar during Prep Week for ICANN77.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As this will represent a change from the usual practice of having the org session as a Geopolitical Forum, we are interested in any feedback you may have to this proposal for ICANN77.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second and third attachments are a draft Block Schedule and a production timeline to aid in your planning. As you will see, this initial schedule takes into account the proposed session as well as a placeholder for another session to
celebrate the ALAC’s, ccNSO’s and GNSO’s 20<sup>th</sup> anniversaries, to be planned by these community groups and their support staff. Another change you will see is in the timing of the various blocks – based on your feedback we have amended the block schedule
to include more 90-minute sessions. While this will reduce the actual number of sessions, it will
<u>not</u> change the actual amount of time allocated overall for community work.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope these attachments are useful and look forward to our first ICANN77 planning call on 30 March. Thank you!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers</p>
