Whether you plan to participate in the upcoming ICANN meeting in Toronto 
remotely or in person, you're invited to an update on the background and 
current status of each major policy issue currently under discussion in 
ICANN.
The ICANN Policy Staff will provide a briefing on *Thursday 4 October at 
12.00 UTC and Thursday 4 October at 19.00 UTC*, summarizing policy 
issues across the different ICANN Supporting Organizations, namely the 
Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), Country Code Names 
Supporting Organization (ccNSO) and Address Supporting Organization 
(ASO). Amongst other topics, updates will be provided on:
 * Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy
 * WHOIS
 * RAA Improvements
 * Protection of International Organization Names
 * Consumer Choice, Competition and Innovation
 * Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories
 * Framework of Interpretation Working Group for the delegation and
   re-delegation of ccTLDs
 * Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group
 * Participation and Engagement activities in Toronto

In addition, staff will provide a briefing on the ALAC's activities 
related to current policy development issues of the Supporting 
Organizations.
The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time 
zones. Each session, scheduled to run for 90 minutes, will be conducted 
in English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide 
presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of 
each session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be 
submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able 
to participate in either of the live sessions, the recording of the 
session will be made available shortly after the meeting. The policy 
staff is always available to answer any questions that you email to 
policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx>.
In order to participate, please RSVP via email to the GNSO Secretariat 
(gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
