Yet another consultation. Anyone care to take the lead? Adam? Horacio? -----Original Message----- From: Olof Nordling [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 7:56 AM To: Milton L Mueller Subject: Consultation on ICANN Strategic Plan Dear Milton, As you may already have noted from the posting on the website, ICANN has begun consultation for the July 2008 - June 2011 Strategic Plan, see http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-28jun07.htm. At this stage we are seeking the views of the community on the challenges and opportunities that ICANN is likely to face over the next three to five years. This is the first part of a multi-phase consultation on the development of the strategic plan. During the next phase we will be seeking comments on the issues paper that is developed from the comments received during this initial consultation. In September we will be seeking comments on the draft plan. Consultation sessions will also be conducted at the next ICANN meeting in Los Angeles in late October. The timeframe is fairly tight as we need to ensure that we have a plan developed for approval by the Board in December, in accordance with the ICANN planning calendar. During this initial stage we do not need a consensus view from the NCUC (although we would welcome one if you would like to provide one); individual comments are welcome. Could you please let the NCUC members know that this consultation is underway and ask them to contribute to the comment forum that can be found on at http://www.icann.org/planning/consultation-stratplan-2008.htm. Alternatively, we would be happy to organize a phone consultation with NCUC members if you prefer. Please contact me to arrange this. Thank you for your support in this important aspect of ICANN's planning activity. Very best regards Olof ----------------- Olof Nordling Manager, Policy Development Coordination ICANN 6 Rond Point Schuman, Bt.5 B-1040 Brussels, Belgium Tel.: +32.2.234 7872 Mobile: +32.475.420805 Fax: +32.2.234 7848 E-mail: [log in to unmask] www.icann.org No virus found in this incoming message.
