Dear Colleagues, A word of explanation and reminder about the StratPlan list mentioned in Grant's posting. The StratPlan listis a listserv set up at the time of organizing the Amsterdam Consultation on the StratPlan. It is not an archived list but provides a way to opt into the list, and then to receive the postings from those who are on the list. Most of you are already on it. You can join the list by sending an email with a request to the gNSO Secretariat, who has kindly assisted in organizing. You can leave the list by sending a similar email. There will be typically occasional postings to the StratPlan list since it is focused only on distributing information about the StratPlan activities to those who are interested. It does not replace in anyway the ICANN public comment process.

Attached please find a paper that addresses the process for ongoing consultation and review of the ICANN Strategic Plan. This is work that originated in the discussions that were held in Amsterdam in February 2005 and refined by consultation and discussions between members of the various ICANN Support Organisations and in particular through discussions held at the ICANN meeting in Mar del Plata in April 2005.
The main collaborative group of authors responsible for the work include: Marilyn Cade Maureen Cubberley Chuck Gomes Grant Forsyth
Our wish is to have the process agreed prior to the next ICANN face-to-face meeting in Luxembourg. The draft ICANN 2005-2006 budget has just been released and is scheduled to be adopted by the Board at the Luxembourg meeting. It is important that the consultation process be understood and agreed prior to Luxembourg, in order that consultation on the draft Budget can be received and considered prior to Luxembourg and the review of the Strategic Plan can be finalized and started in July.
