You are encouraged to provide your input on the following questions as outlined on slide 9: 1. Are these strategic objectives still valid? If not, what updates / additions should be made? 2. How can success be measured for each of these strategic objectives? 3. What needs to be done and by whom in order to meet these strategic objectives? 4. How to make progress on these between now and ICANN 55 taking into account current workload and policy priorities? Please feel free to share your feedback on the mailing list. Best regards, Marika
