[council] Regarding ICANN Strategic Planning Process

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I haven't received the issues paper referred to below yet.

Therefore we will not have a GNSO meeting on Thursday this week to
discuss.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

> We are now in the middle of the ICANN strategic planning 
> process for the
> 2006-2009 plan.  In Luxembourg, the process was outlined, and 
> a copy of that outline is attached.
> 
> At present we are waiting for the response from the final 
> SO/AC and hope to have the issues paper available next week.  
> This puts us a little behind schedule, but not hopelessly so.  
> 
> The next step is to have the SOs, ACs and other members of 
> the community respond to the issues paper.  We will be asking 
> for two elements in those responses.  
> 
> The first element will be an indication of whether the issues 
> that have been identified in the issues paper are the correct 
> issues.  The issues paper is based on the input that was 
> received from the consultation process.  There will 
> undoubtedly be places where the perspectives of members of 
> the GNSO differ from some of the views of other members of 
> the community.  What we are looking for is a validation that 
> the major issues have been covered and that the views of the 
> GNSO are represented, not that you agree with everything that 
> everybody said. 
> Based on those issues, we would like the GNSO to identify 
> what it believes the strategic priorities for ICANN should 
> be, and, if possible, how ICANN should go about addressing 
> those priorities. If the priorities really are to be 
> priorities, there should be no more than five of them. 
>  
> Although it is a tight deadline, we would like to have those 
> responses by 15 October.
>  
> As mentioned in Luxembourg, we would then like to convene a 
> meeting of the Chairs of the SOs and ACs (or their 
> representatives) to agree on a common set of priorities.  The 
> arrangements for this meeting are still being finalised and 
> we will let you know the details as soon as possible.
> 
> Once these key strategic priorities have been formulated, 
> they will be circulated for comment.  Based on the feedback 
> received, a draft strategic plan will be prepared for 
> distribution in November.  Further consultation will take 
> place at the Vancouver meeting, with a view to having the 
> Board approve a final version of the plan in January.
> 
> Thank you for your assistance in the planning process.
