ICANN holds an Open Forum at the IGF meeting every year to update participants on the progress that ICANN has made in its various processes since the last IGF. This year’s Open Forum is an opportunity for ICANN to engage in discussions with participants and exchange views with them on a number of developments that are underway such as: 
• ICANN five-year strategic plan (2016-2020);
• ICANN Strategy Panels;
• Implementation of Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) recommendations;
• New gTLD program; and
• Regional strategies and ongoing globalization efforts.
This is an interactive session with ICANN executives and representatives of its various constituencies engaging in an open dialogue with IGF participants on any ICANN related issues that might interest the audience. 
Anyone with interest in what ICANN does, from all stakeholders of governments, private sector, civil society, technical and academic community. 

Among the panelists will be ICANN President and CEO, ICANN Board Directors, and representatives from the broader ICANN community, including from ICANN’s Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees.
