Tripti Sinha

ICANN Board Chair

Tripti Sinha is Assistant Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at the University of Maryland (UMD) in the Division of Information Technology. She leads Advanced Cyber Infrastructure and Internet Global Services (ACIGS) and the Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX). She has over three decades of progressive experience in Internet and Cyber-Infrastructure technologies. Her wide-ranging experience includes leadership positions in engineering, operations, finance, governance, advocacy and policy. In her current role, she is the chief executive of the MAX, which operates a high-performance regional research and education (R&E) 100G network for advanced cyber-infrastructure services and research. She is also responsible for UMD's High Performance Computing service and strategy. Tripti is active internationally as the executive and operational head of UMD's global operation of DNS root services. She previously served as Co-Chair of ICANN's Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) from 2015-2018.

In the United States, she is very involved in the Internet2 community on activities related to the US national R&E Internet backbone. She is also Chair of the Board of Directors of The Quilt whose mission is to provide advocacy for research and education networking on the US national agenda. She has served on many other non-profit and private sector technology advisory boards.

Tripti has an undergraduate degree in Computer Science from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and did graduate work in Computer Science at the University of Maryland. She was born in India and lives in the United States. As a child and young adult, she moved back-and-forth between the USA and India which gave her an appreciation for global pluralism. She is proficient in English and Hindi, and has an understanding of Punjabi, Urdu and the ancient Sanskrit language. Tripti has a keen interest in Information and Communication Technology innovation, entrepreneurship, governance and policy, and international affairs. Tripti was nominated to serve on the ICANN Board of Directors by the Nominating Committee in 2018.  Her term will expire at the Annual General Meeting 2024.

As we approach the second ICANN Public Meeting of 2024, the ICANN Board, community, and organization are focused on working together to achieve our shared goals and fulfilling our mission.

Next week, we will gather online and in Kigali, Rwanda, for the ICANN80 Policy Forum, with the goal of advancing the work of ICANN's multistakeholder community. On Sunday, 9 June, the Government of Rwanda will host a High-Level Government Meeting. Led by ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), the meeting highlights the critical role of governments in advising on key ICANN policies.

Before these events, the Board will hold a workshop on 7–8 June in Kigali to prepare for the meetings and progress its work in key areas.

Next Round: The Board will discuss several matters related to the next round of new generic top-level domain (gTLD) applications. These include the new gTLD evaluation fee and the Applicant Support Program funding plan. Furthermore, the Board will consider the supplemental recommendations and GAC advice related to the private resolution of contention sets, and the next steps on registrar voluntary commitments.

Reviews: The Board Organizational Effectiveness Committee will facilitate a discussion on two pending recommendations from the second Organizational Review of the Nominating Committee (NomCom): NomCom appointments of "Unaffiliated" Board Directors and the rebalancing of the NomCom. Each of these topics have significant governance implications for ICANN. The aim of this discussion is to find suitable channels within the Board to further progress the discussion of these remaining topics.

RDRS: The Board will review the operational usage statistics collected on the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) since the pilot program launched in November. The program team will present the data, which was shared during a Prep Week session, as well as the results of requestor and registrar surveys that were recently published.

Internet Governance: The Board will receive an update on recent Internet governance developments, including NETMundial+10, the Global Digital Compact, the WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event, regional organizations' preparations for the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly, and European legislative trends. The briefing will provide an overview of several forthcoming ICANN engagements at intergovernmental and supranational organizations.

ODP Consultation: The Board will continue its discussion on the effectiveness and functionality of the Operational Design Phase (ODP). We will analyze and discuss the lessons learned and feedback provided by the ICANN Board, community, and organization.

Risk Assessment: The Board Risk Committee will deliver its semiannual report to the Board. The committee and ICANN org's Risk Management team continuously review the risk landscape per the Risk Management Framework.

Strategic Plan: The Board will continue to hone and refine the draft ICANN Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2026–30. During ICANN80, the Board Strategic Planning Committee will share the draft strategies for the next five years with the community. Be sure to join this interactive session on Thursday, 13 June, and help shape the future of ICANN.

In addition to this community engagement session at ICANN80, my Board colleagues and I are looking forward to holding a joint meeting with the GAC, to welcoming the ICANN Fellowship and NextGen@ICANN Program participants, and overall to having productive conversations with community members throughout the week.
