REMINDER: Kick-off of FY25 Planning Process These are requests for Strategic Outlook trend identification session participation and upcoming nominations for Planning Prioritization Group Members ICANN is kicking off the FY25 Planning Cycle, beginning with the strategic outlook trend program. Community members can participate in trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions in March and April 2023. This program is a joint effort of ICANN org, community, and Board to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that these opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Once complete, ICANN org will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Additionally, we will begin the FY25 Planning Prioritization Process in April. The Planning Prioritization Group will comprise members from the ICANN stakeholder groups as listed below. The stakeholder group leadership will be asked to nominate one primary member and one secondary member to participate in the prioritization process. Nominations will be due by the end of March by emailing planning@icann.org, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt@icann.org).
