Attached is the current draft BC comment on ICANN’s Vision, Mission & Focus for 5-year Strategic Plan, which came out of last summer’s "brainstorming" by board, community and staff. (link<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/focus-areas-29oc...>) Tim Chen and Chris Chaplow led drafting of the BC comment, with help from Martin Sutton, Marilyn Cade, and Andrew Mack. Comments close 31-Jan, so today begins our 14-day review period. We need draft comments for Focus Area V: Defining role clarity for ICANN in the Internet governance ecosystem. Yesterday I shared my views about ICANN limiting its mission and avoiding entanglements in the broader I-Gov debate. If no BC members contribute text for Area V, then I can draft something next week. Please REPLY ALL with edits (TRACK CHANGES)as soon as possible, since the comment deadline is 31-Jan-2014. Thanks again to Tim and Chris for taking the lead on this. — Steve DelBianco Vice chair for policy coordination
