I'd like the magazine to summarise the info across all the ICANN channels, and develop into almost an executive summary of whats going on. ICANN policy making can be quite a dry topic, so I think additional journalist elements in plain English will not only increase readership (and therefore engagement) but also provide the back story and introduce new areas to the readership. Are you allowed to pass editorial comments on issues of the day? Both please!

Or do you think that it needs to contain some new elements that are currently missing, for example, more information in plain English?

This blog is a great example of using plain english to reach out to the community. A lot of the language on the ICANN site and in the newsletters is pretty impenetrable. But I think ICANN is now probably pushing out too much material: compliance updates, policy newsletters, blogs, stats, videos, minutes, etc etc. The splurge of material isn't very integrated and is probably counter-productive, as only the most die-hard ICANN aficionado will dig down and monitor all of these channels, and the important information can get buried amongst the static. tom Cheers Kieran,
