ICANN Posts Draft of Strategic Plan for Consultation
19 October 2007
ICANN today posted the first draft of the July 2008 — June 2011 Strategic Plan for community consultation. The plan is available in English [PDF, 80K], Français [PDF, 1,415K], Español [PDF, 1,180K], العربية [PDF, 376K], Русский [PDF, 1,440K] and 中文 [PDF, 348K].
In accordance with the ICANN annual planning calendar, initial consultation on this plan began at the San Juan meeting in June where consultation sessions were held in English, French and Spanish. An online forum was also established with questions in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. Telephone consultations were organized with constituency groups which requested these. An issues paper was released in September and further comments were sought.
Based on all of this community input, a first draft of the Strategic Plan has been developed. Members of the community are encouraged to read the draft plan and make comments. Comments may be made through the on-line forum at stratplan-2008@icann.org. In addition, consultation sessions will be held at the Los Angeles meeting at the end of October.
The comment period will close on November 10. A revised version of the plan will be prepared based on community feedback and presented to the Board for approval at its December meeting.
