Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:

The Draft Vision, Mission & Focus Areas for a Five-Year Strategic 
Plan<https://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/focus-areas-29oct13-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 313 KB] is a working draft to support the creation of ICANN's Vision and 
Five-Year Strategic Plan. It has been written based on brainstorming that 
occurred April - September 
2013<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement> and reflects 
input from ICANN's Board of Directors, community and staff.

In line with ICANN's commitment to the multistakeholder model, this working 
draft is provided for community discussion and public comment. It proposes a 
new Vision, reiterates ICANN's existing Mission, and describes five proposed 
Focus Areas with goals. At this stage of 
development<http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/strategic-planning-schedules-1000x639-09oct13-en.png>,
 ICANN is seeking general feedback, as well as input on measurable outcomes for 
these Focus Area Goals:

Overall -Does this draft appropriately outline ICANN's future? Are we missing a 
strategic element you see as critical for ICANN to address in the next five 
years?

Focus Area Goals -What specific outcomes or achievements should we target for 
each of the Focus Area Goals? What quantitative / qualitative elements should 
we consider in measuring progress / results for each Focus Area Goal?

Your responses will help inform additional aspects that are not yet included, 
but will be elements of ICANN's final strategic and/or operating plans and 
budget, including: prioritization, timing/staging over five years, critical 
success factors, outcomes, resources, and metrics and monitoring.

Your feedback and input is critical. For your convenience, we have created 
simple templates for you to use as you send us your thoughts on the overall 
Vision and Mission as well as the five Focus Area Goals. Simply click on the 
links below to access the templates.

All feedback and input will be carefully considered for the proposed ICANN 
Vision and Five-Year Strategic Plan that will be posted for public comment.
