ICANN has announced changes to proposed dates for 5 of the 9 ICANN Public Meetings to be held in 2021, 2022 and 2023 due to a number of global, national, and religious holidays and other community events in the regions where the meetings are scheduled to be held. Comments close on 2 November.

A report has been prepared with the revised dates and is available at:
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-icann-meetings-dates-23oct17-en.pdf [PDF, 388 KB].

On 21 August, ICANN posted initial proposed dates for Public Comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/icann-meetings-dates-2017-08-21-en. After reviewing the comments received to date, ICANN has revised the dates for five of the nine ICANN Public Meetings to be held from 2021 to 2023.

The Public Comment period has been extended 10 days following the posting of the report to give the community an opportunity to comment on the revised dates. The new close date for the Public Comment period is 2 November 2017.

The final step will be for ICANN to announce and publish the official dates for ICANN Public Meetings to be held in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
