Triage Recommendation on Request for input on Strategic & Operational Plan
by Gabriella Schittek May 17, 2013

May 17, 2013

Dear Councillors, This Triage Group recommendation on the Request for Input on the Draft Strategic and Operational Plan (see below) may seem a bit superfluous, as the recommendation is to forward it to the SOP WG - which already is busy working on the topic. However, for formal reasons it needed to pass the Triaging group (2 of 3 members agreed with recommendation, no reply from 3rd member) and also needs to gain your approval. Please, let me know if you have any objections by 20 May 2013.

Previous comments on ICANN's Strategic Plans of the ccNSO SOP Working Group
by Roelof Meijer May 15, 2013

May 15, 2013

Dear Mr. Chehadé and Mr. Crocker, dear Fadi and Steve, In its reaction to the draft Strategic Plan 2013-2016 of November 2012, the Strategic and Operational Planning Working Group of the ccNSO recommended to discontinue the development of the 2013-2016 Strategic Plan and to focus staff and community efforts on the development of the 2014-2018 Strategic Plan in 2013. We also committed to give you a high-level overview and summary of the comments still valid and which the SOP has submitted on ICANNs Strategic Plans since the WG's creation in 2009. With the attached letter, the SOP WG gives a follow-up to that commitment. We hope that our comments can serve as input for you deliberations over the coming days in Amsterdam. Best regards, Roelof Meijer SOP WG Chair SIDN | Meander 501 | 6825 MD | Postbus 5022 | 6802 EA | ARNHEM T +31 (0)26 352 55 00 | M +31 (0)6 11 395 775 | F +31 (0)26 352 55 05 roelof.meijer(a)sidn.nl <mailto:roelof.meijer@sidn.nl> | www.sidn.nl <http://www.sidn.nl/>
