STRATEGIC PLANNING CONSULTATION PROCESS 2005
In 2004, ICANN released its first strategic plan. July 2005 marks the
beginning of the six-month strategic planning cycle to revise and roll
forward the three-year plan. An outline of the process for the next six
months can be found here
</strategic-plan/consultation-process-LUX/outline-2005.pdf> .
At the Luxembourg meeting, ICANN conducted a number of consultation
sessions seeking the views of the community on the July 2006 - June 2009
Strategic Plan. Sessions were run for SOs, ACs and other constituency
groups, and general consultation sessions were conducted in English,
French and Spanish. The raw output from these sessions is attached here
</strategic-plan/consultation-process-LUX/output.pdf> . An issues paper
which summarises this output and the responses that have been received
to the questions posted on the site will be released early September.
In addition, a report </meetings/luxembourg/captioning-pf1-13jul05.htm>
by the President at the Luxembourg meeting allowed all members of the
community to understand the current status of key initiatives.
Members of the ICANN community are invited to contribute to the
consultation process by becoming involved through their constituency,
supporting organization or advisory committee, or by responding
individually to the questions that are being used in the consultation
process. This includes both the original set of questions (English
