SUMMARY:ICANN75 	Annual General Meeting (24th)
DESCRIPTION:About\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nICANN Meetings have been central to ICANN’s multistakeholder model since its formation in 1998. They provide a venue for learning about ICANN\, advancing policy work\, conducting outreach\, exchanging best practices\, conducting business deals\, and interacting with members of the ICANN community\, Board\, and organization. \nDesigned to meet a diverse range of needs for ICANN’s Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (SO/ACs)\, staff\, and newcomers alike\, an average ICANN Meeting accepts more than 350 submissions to schedule in twelve simultaneous sessions spanning four to six days. \nMeeting Strategy\nThe current strategy for ICANN’s triannual meetings was developed by the Meeting Strategy Working Group (MSWG) and adopted by the ICANN Board in 2014. The MSWG was a cross-community Working Group created by the ICANN Board to look into all aspects of the ICANN Meetings. The group made proposals for changes to meeting timing\, duration and format\, rotation of the meeting location\, meeting support and engagement activities\, and meeting planning. \n Learn More about the Meeting Strategy or Download the Final Report. \nWhere and when do ICANN meetings take place?\nICANN meetings are held three times each year in different regions of the globe to enable attendees from around the world to participate in person. Each ICANN Meeting held throughout the year has a different focus and duration. The meetings are known as Community Forum\, Policy Forum\, and Annual General Meeting (AGM).\nYou can see the list of the dates and locations for past and upcoming ICANN meetings at http://meetings.icann.org/calendar.

SUMMARY:ICANN 72
DESCRIPTION:Annual General Meeting (AGM)\nThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) is the third meeting in the three-meeting annual cycle\, typically held in October or November. The duration of the AGM is six days\, running from Saturday through Thursday. \nThe AGM includes time for internal SO/AC work and cross-community interaction\, but the overall focus is to showcase ICANN’s work to a broader global audience\, with more time dedicated to capacity building and leadership training sessions.

The meetings are free and open to anyone who wishes to participate. \nAs a meeting participant\, you could be from almost any profession and from any corner of the planet. ICANN is set up to allow everyone affected by its work – and that is pretty much everyone – to have a say in its processes. \nTo ensure that the organization stays flexible and changes to meet the needs and demands of a rapidly changing Internet\, not only do the SOs\, ACs\, and the Board go through regular reviews\, but ICANN also maintains a strong culture of general public participation. \nTypical attendees include government representatives\, business managers\, IT managers and consultants\, DNS industry managers and experts\, intellectual property managers\, academics\, and others invested in the continuing stable\, secure and resilient operation of the Internet. End users are also well represented.\nIf you cannot physically attend a meeting\, ICANN offers a variety of services to ensure that the power of participation is just a click away. \nLearn more at http://meetings.icann.org/remote-participation. \nWhat are the registration fees?\nAttendance at an ICANN meeting is free to the general public\, although you will have to pay for your own travel and lodging.
