ICANN87 年度大会 (AGM) 于 10 月 17 日至 22 日在巴厘岛举行。这是 ICANN 首次在印度尼西亚举办公共会议。印度尼西亚作为一个多元文化、多语种的国家，为 ICANN 全球社群的相聚提供了恰如其分的场所。
年度大会是承前启后的重要时刻：ICANN 董事会在此期间迎来新任成员，并向任期届满的成员致意告别。在 10 月 22 日的例行董事会会议上，董事会向即将离任的尼古拉斯·卡巴雷诺 (Nicolás Caballero)、萨拉·多伊奇 (Sarah Deutsch) 和里昂·桑切斯 (León Sánchez) 所作出的诸多贡献表示感谢。我们还向艾伦·巴雷特 (Alan Barrett) 致以追思感谢；他始终以高度的热忱与责任感在董事会履职，直至今年 5 月逝世。此外，董事会还表彰了今年任期届满的 42 位社群领袖。
在董事会会议期间，我们就国际化域名 (IDN) 国家和地区顶级域 (ccTLD) 授权与退出相关的政策建议采取了行动。我与同事们谨向国家和地区名称支持组织 (ccNSO) 在制定该政策过程中付出的辛勤努力表示感谢。尽管董事会并未采纳所有拟议建议，但我们批准了提案的大部分内容，并承诺与 ccNSO 进一步开展对话。
董事会还批准将 2,000 万美元盈余资金从 ICANN 运营基金转入项目基金。项目基金旨在为实施经董事会批准的社群建议或任何符合条件的项目提供资源支持。
我们还欢迎新任董事会成员贾斯汀·丘 (Justine Chew)、尼尔·哈珀 (Niel Harper) 和伊恩·谢尔顿 (Ian Sheldon) 加入。此外，我们举行了选举，并任命了各董事会委员会的成员及负责人。我很荣幸能继续担任董事会主席，与副主席萨吉德·拉赫曼 (Sajid Rahman) 共同履职。
在 ICANN87 会议开幕前，董事会举行了为期三天的工作坊。以下是讨论成果概述：
2026 轮次：董事会听取了“揭晓日” (Reveal Day) 及相关活动（包括申请公示系统启动）的最新进展汇报，以及 2026 轮次新通用顶级域项目的后续重要里程碑安排。
RSS 治理：董事会听取了关于根服务器系统 (RSS) 治理演进工作潜在后续步骤的概述。我们还讨论了注册管理机构利益相关方团体和互联网架构委员会近期发来的信函。为协助董事会审议 RSS 治理工作组提出的功能模型及分阶段实施方案，ICANN 组织将继续制定工作计划草案，其中将包括成立 RSS 理事会所需的预期里程碑和预计资源。
审核综述：在听取审核综述跨社群小组的工作进展汇报后，董事会讨论了该小组关于延长总体时间表的请求所带来的影响，并结合《章程》第 27 条第 27.6 款中关于暂停 ICANN 开展特定审查义务的时限规定进行了分析。此外，ICANN 组织还就预期建议的实施提出了可能的方案和时间表。
财务：董事会审议了 2026 财年 (FY26) 经审计的财务报表以及 2027 财年 (FY27) 预测。董事会审计委员会对审计结果表示满意，并祝贺 ICANN 组织通过无保留意见审计——外部审计机构未发现任何重大缺陷或显著不足。
政策制定：董事会审议了正在推进的政策工作（如最新综合政策平衡记分卡所概括）以及整体政策制定流程。我们认识到，有必要在政策制定流程的更早阶段提升董事会对核心议题的了解，并将与 ICANN 组织协作，以高效、务实的方式推进此项工作。
互联网治理：董事会听取了国际电信联盟全权代表大会及 2026 年互联网治理论坛筹备工作的最新进展。讨论涵盖关键动态、ICANN 的计划参与安排，以及支持互联网治理多利益相关方模式的相关举措。我们还讨论了继续与各国政府保持沟通、并与技术社群加强协调的重要性，以维护安全、稳定且具有全球互操作性的互联网。我们还讨论了继续与各国政府保持沟通、并与技术社群加强协调的重要性，以支持建设安全、稳定且具有全球互操作性的互联网。
当前是全球互联网治理的关键时刻。自美国政府将互联网号码分配机构 (IANA) 职能的管理权移交给全球社群以来的十年间，我们已证明包容性、分布式治理模式行之有效。在地缘政治环境深受互联网未来愿景之争影响的当下，我们必须以实际行动彰显多利益相关方模型的价值。
作为 2026 年的最后一场会议，ICANN87 ICANN87 见证了 ICANN 社群内富有成效的交流。本次年度大会取得的进展为本年度工作画上了圆满句号，并为来年明确了优先事项与后续步骤。
