Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose

ICANN continues to pursue the Strategic Planning process in accordance with our 
published timeline. We are posting a draft version of the 2012-2015 Strategic 
Plan that is the result of community consultation and staff work. We are 
soliciting your feedback and comments.
There are two versions:
·         Draft 2012-2015 Strategic 
plan<http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-clean-03oct11-en.pdf>
 (Clean) [PDF, 865 KB]
·         Draft 2012-2015 Strategic 
plan<http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-redline-03oct11-en.pdf>
 (Redline) [PDF, 934 KB]
The overall structure of the Strategic Plan has remained consistent with last 
year's plan.  Based upon the input sessions with SO/AC and Staff, some major 
themes emerged that are in the plan:
·         Last year, there was focus on the IANA follow-on contract risk - this 
year it was not widely discussed which is evidence that strong support action 
was/is being taken
·         The DNS Stability & Security message moves beyond DNS to include IP 
addresses and parameters (the Unique Identifiers - per ICANN's Mission)
·         The Whois database policy and procedures will receive increased 
attention
·         Acknowledgement that Law Enforcement is engaging more
·         The New gTLD Program is raising the awareness and profile of ICANN 
all around the globe - "the New gTLD Program intensifies everything at ICANN"
·         Provided  for effective and constructive early participation of the 
GAC in the policy development process
·         There will be new stakeholders and categories of stakeholders brought 
into the ICANN multi-stakeholder model in the next few years
·         ICANN needs to better define principles for internationalization to 
steer decisions and expansion
·         ICANN needs better enterprise-wide processes and systems (not just 
Finance) to operate in the future
·         ICANN is an exemplary multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance
·         ICANN meetings present a unique opportunity for ICANN to deliver on 
the Mission - how meetings can evolve to be more effective
This draft is based upon.
·         GNSO IPC input on August 29, 2011 (concerns over Whois, rights 
protection mechanisms, ICANN lack of neutrality and ethics)
·         ALAC input on August 29, 2011 (outreach to the "edges" of the 
community, developing country participation, development of metrics)
·         GNSO RySG input on August 29, 2011 (ease of participation, early GAC 
involvement in policy development process and work to execute the adoption of 
IDNA 2008, cost benefit analysis of SSR, engaging new stakeholders)
·         ccNSO Singapore input on June 20, 2011 (a session to receive ccNSO 
input is scheduled)
·         ICANN Team Brainstorm session dated June 2, 2011
·         ICANN Staff Focus Area Working Sessions
·         Strategic Metrics Updates - Staff Input
·         ATRT Recommendations report - June 22, 2011
·         ICANN Staff review of Draft: multiple inputs
The public comment period will close on 17 November 2011. The draft plan will 
be revised based on the comments received. A final version of the 2012-2015 
Strategic Plan will be submitted to the Board for approval at their upcoming 
meeting in December 2011.

We appreciate your important contribution to ICANN's 2012-2015 strategic 
planning process.

Section II: Background

ICANN produces a three-year Strategic Plan (reviewed and updated annually) and 
an annual Operating Plan. As part of the strategic planning process each year, 
ICANN considers major internal and external events that have occurred since the 
last writing of the plan.  The last plan was posted in December 2010 and 
approved in February 2011.

Section III: Document and Resource Links

This year's approved Strategic Plan 
2011-2014<http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/strategic-plan-2011-2014-28mar11-en.pdf>

Valley Meeting - has incorporated strategic metrics based on extensive 
community input, review and public forums held in both Cartagena and Silicon 
Valley.

Section IV: Additional Information

The Strategic Plan informs the Operating Plan and Budget and helps to define
