Andrea has shared a list of proposed speakers from the five ICANN regions. Kindly review the nominations and confirm the speaker representing your region. If you feel the suggested candidate is not the best fit, please don’t hesitate to recommend an alternative, so we can extend an invitation accordingly.<br><br>Although the webinar was initially scheduled for this week, competing commitments and scheduling conflicts have affected our progress. After consulting with Andrea, we are considering a new date. She has confirmed that 25th August 2025 is currently free of major ICANN activities, and I’ll ask her to reserve this date. This will allow us more time to prepare effectively.<br><br>Here is the link to the list of speaker nominations received so far: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LSczquIeRfUTr6FUKzUvd-9mLz7mS3SnKI0EEIOJ1Ak/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LSczquIeRfUTr6FUKzUvd-9mLz7mS3SnKI0EEIOJ1Ak/edit?usp=sharing</a><br><br>We also need to appoint a moderator who is well-versed in ICANN, non-commercial, and Internet governance and has a solid understanding of global geopolitical dynamics. I would like to propose <b>Stephanie Perrin,</b> who was recently appointed to the NomCom. However, if you have another candidate in mind who meets these criteria, please feel free to suggest them.<br><br>Another important item is agreeing on a webinar theme <b>(Topic)</b> that resonates across all five regions. This will guide the development of the session's terms of reference, which will be shared with speakers, members, and the general public.
