I want to call everyone's attention to an ongoing challenge for us -- keeping pace with the full range of magical, marvelous Panels, and their output. Some members will recall that we have called for the various Panels to be input into the Strat Plan process, but not to overtake or displace the community's input.

Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:29:05 +0000 Thanks to Chris for consolidating all those disparate, last-minute, edit suggestions. (I know how difficult that can be!) And thanks to all the contributors for producing a high-quality, specific response from the BC. I’m happy to do the submissions tonight (US eastern time) if that makes it easier on you, Chris. Just let me know. —Steve From: Chris Chaplow <chris@andaluciaws.com> Date: Friday, January 31, 2014 at 5:02 PM To: 'bc - GNSO list' <bc-gnso@icann.org> Subject: [bc-gnso] RV: BC comment on ICANN's Vision, Mission & Focus for 5-year Strategic Plan. Dear Members, Thanks for your contributions to the draft BC comment on ICANN’s Vision, Mission & Focus for 5-year Strategic Plan. I have incorporated the comments by members Aparna Sridhar, David Fares, Nat Cohen, and Marilyn Cade. Please find attached the individual documents that I will submit to ICANN in a few hours time ahead of the deadline. (I notice that no other comments have been submitted at all yet.) In particular with regard to the Vision I believe I have incorporated the comments of Aparna Sridhar, David Fares, and Marilyn Cade. The BC suggested version of the Vision is the shortened version (not including public interest) whilst the BC statement request “How this is incorporated .. deserves more discussion with the ICANN community.” I also have added a point I made on the BC call in the Focus Area: IV. Striving towards technical and operational excellence being “BC also notes that IANA has been dropped from the title of the focus area but management of IANA function should remain a key strategic objective.” With best regards, Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucia.com S.L.
