🔥 ACTION ITEM: Sign up for Strategic Outlook Identification Sessions

 

ICANN’s FY25 Planning Process has started, beginning with the strategic outlook program. We

are looking for participation from community members in the 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 from March through May 2023.

 

This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are

related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into

current and future planning.

 

Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and

impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan.

Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or

annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate.

 

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.

 

Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.
