The ICANN Policy Update contains brief summaries of issues being addressed by 
the ICANN community's bottom-up policy development structure, as well as 
information on related policy development activities. The ICANN Policy Staff 
provides monthly updates in response to requests from the community for 
periodic summaries of ICANN's policy work. The goal of the Policy Update is to 
maximize transparency and encourage broad community participation in ICANN's 
policy development activities.

Links to additional information are included and readers are encouraged to go 
beyond these brief summaries to learn more about the ICANN community's work. As 
always, the Policy Staff welcomes comments and suggestions on how to improve 
its policy communications efforts. Please send these comments to
