At-Large Plenary 1: Core Internet Values: Evolution and Challenges for ICANN 

Session details: https://sched.co/1vpZw

The concept of core Internet values has been a cornerstone of the Internet’s architecture. However, with seismic shifts in technology, governance models, and geopolitical dynamics, these values require adjustment to remain relevant in today’s rapidly evolving environment.

This session will examine how such adjustments could affect ICANN’s remit and mission. It will explore the balance between preserving foundational principles and adapting to emerging realities, leveraging insights from technological, governance, and geopolitical trends, alongside ICANN’s operational experience. The discussion will identify necessary changes, their implications for ICANN, and strategies to address these challenges while upholding its core purpose.

At-Large Plenary 2: SubPro's Promise and the New gTLD Round

Session details: https://sched.co/1vpZz

This session aims to explore whether the expectations, or ‘promises’, made within ICANN during the development and implementation of the New gTLD Program are being met, particularly in terms of their social impact and alignment with the global public interest. This discussion is particularly timely as we approach the next Applicant Guidebook (AGB) revision. Based on the community’s understanding of the successes and failures of the ongoing 2012 round, the discussions during the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Policy Development Process on how the next round would fix everything, and the status of the current implementation of the New gTLD Round, can we identify gaps that should be dealt with before it is too late? Alternatively, we will learn that all is going well and will be ready with the solutions by the time the program kicks off.
