ICANN is requesting input to its "Draft Vision, Mission & Focus Areas for a Five-Year Strategic Plan". The suggested action by the Triage Committee is fairly straightforward: As we already have the SOP WG in place, this group should be asked to provide input + notify the community (done).

Please, let me know if you object to this suggestion by Friday, 8 November.

Thanks!

Gabi
