Framework for Board Liaisons to Community Groups

The Framework for Board Liaisons to Community Groups is a set of guidelines outlining how to choose a board liaison and detailing the role.

Overview

Board Liaisons provide an interface between the ICANN Community and the ICANN Board. The framework indicates that liaisons should:

1. Keep the Board/caucus informed of their appointed projects' progress;
2. Identify potential challenges that could be mitigated by the ICANN Board and/or give the board early warning;
3. Convey Board input to inform project deliberations; and
4. Indicate whether recommendations are unlikely to be approved by the ICANN Board, without attempting to dictate a preferred

outcome.
