==Meetings==
The ICANN Board conducts annual meetings at the main office of ICANN or any appropriate venue chosen by the Board; it must be held within 14 months of the previous annual meeting. Regular meetings are determined by the Board and special meetings are conducted when 1/4 of the members of the Board submit a request, or when a request comes from the Chairman of the Board or the President. The Secretary of ICANN will make the call for special meeting at a designated venue or at the ICANN main office.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws-25jan11-en.htm#VI-9 Meetings]</ref> The Board needs a quorum to be able to proceed or act on a particular issue during an any meeting. If there is no quorum, the meeting is to be adjourned.

==Committees==
[[ICANN]]'s [[Board Committees]] are established in the [[ICANN Bylaws]]. They can be general, such as the Finance Committee, or specific, such as the Accountability Mechanisms Committee. Each committee has its own Board-approved charter outlining its purpose, scope, and composition. In April 2021, the [[ICANN Board]] partnered with the [[ICANN Organization]]'s [[Communications]] team to launch a webinar series called "Meet the Board Committee," which spotlighted each committee's work.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/have-you-met-the-boards-committees-12-4-2021-en Have You Met the Board’s Committees?, Maarten Botterman, ICANN Blogs]</ref> The first one focused on the Board Technical Committee (BTC), which oversees the technical work necessary to [[ICANN Mission- and Value-Driven Initiatives|fulfill ICANN's mission]].
