The public forum is the Community's opportunity to make comments and ask questions on the main topics at each meeting directly to the Board and in front of the rest of the community.

For transparency, a scribe feed is provided both in the room and via remote participation in real-time to allow all comments and questions raised during the session to be viewed by everyone.

Remote participants have the opportunity to raise questions and/or comments by two means.

• Via email – forum@icann.org
• Via phone – Please call one of the international access numbers listed at http://adigo.com/icann/
• Once connected, enter conference ID: 25594
• Your phone line will be muted. Should you have a question please press #3 and give the conference operator this information:
• Your name.
• Who you are representing, if anyone.
• The city and country from which you are calling.
• Your question.
• The conference operator will convey the above information to ICANN staff in the meeting room.
• When the moderator of the Public Forum introduces you, your line will be unmuted so you may ask your question.

Time Restrictions

Organization of the Forum

The public forum has three main sections as follows:

1. Welcome & Explanation of Public Forum Procedures: ICANN Board Chair Dr. Stephen D. Crocker provides an overview of the Public Forum and the guidelines that will frame the session.
2. Subject Specific Discussion: Time will be allotted for various topics (to be posted). This agenda is developed with input received from ICANN Community Leaders of Supporting Organizations, Advisory Councils, Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies and the community in general
3. Any Other Business: This is, in essence, a more relaxed open mic session where any subject may be raised to the Board.
