Co-authored by Julf Helsingius for the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG) and Mason Cole for the Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG).
The Commercial Stakeholder Group and Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (together, the Non-Contracted Party House, or NCPH) met for a daylong Day 0 session on 8 November 2024, immediately prior to the opening of the ICANN81 meeting in Istanbul.
This meeting follows one of a similar nature conducted prior to ICANN78 in Hamburg, which was the first joint NCPH meeting following the pandemic. That Day 0 event helped the NCPH successfully recalibrate the working relationship between the two SGs, which had become fractured over time. Our Istanbul sessions were equally beneficial, with discussions ranging from ICANN policy development to the improvement of house operational procedures to a helpful briefing to the ICANN Board of Directors.
The NCPH thanks ICANN Org for making available the necessary resources and support to conduct a useful and productive daylong meeting. It is the hope of our respective SGs that, similar to the yearly summit enjoyed by the Contracted Party House (CPH), this can become a recurring event.
The NCPH also thanks, in particular:
Following is a review of specific outcomes resulting from the daylong collaborative session:
In conclusion, the NCPH again thanks ICANN Org, the Board, and house colleagues for a productive and useful day of discussions. These meetings have contributed significantly to the improvement of working relationships within the house and, consequently, to the house’s participation in ICANN work. The NCPH looks forward to further interactions of this kind, and to continually improving contributions to the multistakeholder model.
