ICANN Debuts Updated Engagement Calendar

6 November 2023
By
Sally Newell Cohen

Sally Newell Cohen

SVP, Global Communications

Sally Newell Cohen is the Senior Vice President of Global Communications and Language Services at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). In addition to leading a global communications team, she is the principal communications strategist and advisor to the CEO, Executive Team, and Board of Directors.

A proven leader in marketing and communications, Sally is known for building strong teams and executing strategies that elevate competitive advantage, promote growth, and enhance brand awareness. She leads the strategic communications effort to build greater awareness of ICANN’s global mission. 

Most recently, Sally was the Chief Operations Officer at Toastmasters International, where she partnered with the Board of Directors and CEO to develop a comprehensive strategic plan. Under her leadership, her team accomplished a global rebranding effort that revitalized the company’s image and increased membership. She also has significant public relations and operational experience, having held leadership roles at public relations firms as well as high-tech companies such as Ingram Micro.

Sally has a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the Keene State College and has completed Executive Education programs at Harvard and Stanford. Before entering business communications, Sally was a journalist, where her natural curiosity was put to use as a reporter and editor.

As a part of ICANN's continuing efforts to build the Information Transparency Platform (ITP), I am excited to announce that ICANN is launching an enhanced Engagement Calendar on icann.org.

What is New?

The Engagement Calendar is a much-used feature that provides a means to stay abreast of important ICANN-related events. The updated calendar is a more robust, information-rich platform.

Event listings in the enhanced calendar will include:

  • A detailed description of the event
  • Date, time, location and venue
  • The access level of the event and who may attend
  • Information on how to participate
  • A point of contact for questions
  • Languages available for the event
  • Links to other event information and partner organizations

The calendar also will give you the ability to:

  • Going forward, search for past and upcoming events by date and keyword.
  • Filter events by activity or event type, location, and format.
  • Subscribe to receive email alerts when new events are added or updated.

Please note: subscribers must have an ICANN account.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this effort to enhance and optimize this indispensable feature on the Information Transparency Platform. For more information about the ITP, please visit https://www.icann.org/iti. For any ITP-related questions or comments, please contact the ITI team at: informationtransparency@icann.org.
