Hi all,

ICANN just published today the public consultation the ICANN Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025. This set the strategy and goals for ICANN for the coming years and so impacting things like ICANN yearly budget and priorities.  
As a part of ICANN community and having our own priorities and interests,  we need to submit a comment and participate in the overall process. This will define the activities and have a long term impact. For more background, you can find all the relevant material here: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/strategic-plan-2018-12-20-en 

I created this google doc to be used during the drafting and accessible to all: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WTfrDKosnig9hVghrlWr--znKSK5acVALJgaeeip5nU/edit 

Please let me offline if you want to volunteer to participate in drafting the NCSG comment and join a drafting team. For this particular effort, we have have more volunteers involved and cross-participation to get more feedback and input. The drafting team will work on initial draft comment. We will also organize more consultation on the list and possibly through calls to shape NCSG position.
