Issue Briefs* <http://www.icann.org/policy/briefs/> about some of the key
activities the ICANN community is working on in Paris and beyond:

*Policy Issue Briefs* <http://www.icann.org/policy/briefs/> are basic
introductions to important areas of Internet policy development that are
being addressed by the ICANN community's bottom-up, consensus based,
policymaking structure. They are designed and written by ICANN Policy Staff
to accommodate newcomers to ICANN, as well as ICANN issue veterans who may
desire basic information on an unfamiliar issue.  Translated versions of all
*Issue Briefs* will be available soon online.  We would appreciate your
suggestions of additional topics for future *Policy Issue
Briefs<http://www.icann.org/policy/briefs/>--
*please send them to *policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx.  *Comments on the substance of
these *Issue Briefs* is also welcome and should be sent to the same email
address.

We encourage people to go beyond these brief introductions (if they are not
involved in these issues) and learn more about the work of the ICANN
community. To facilitate this, links to information on current Policy
development activities are provided in the left side-bar of this
webpage<http://www.icann.org/policy/briefs/>,
and we have included in each *Issue Brief* URLs to additional information.
