Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends have the potential to impact our plans. Acting on a recommendation from the ICANN Board's Strategic Planning Committee, the Board has resolved to keep the Strategic Plan for fiscal years (FY) 2021–2025 in force and unchanged at this time. The strategic objectives and goals from the Strategic Plan remain, while activities and projects will be updated in the Draft FY25 Operating Plans.

The goal is to develop a framework for implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6. The feedback from SO/AC Chairs is expected by 30 November. NEW: Retirement of Non-Policy Recommendations ICANN org shared a document named "Draft Process to Retire Non-Policy Recommendations" with SO/AC Chairs and expects their feedback by 30 November. The process pertains exclusively to non-policy recommendations that emerge from Reviews and Cross-Community Working Groups, aligning with the objective of the implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 5. NEW: Streamlining Resource Requests from the ICANN Community ICANN org will end the ABR process beginning with the FY2025 OP&B process. The annual OP&B process is better understood, and several ICANN community groups already align their operations and planning work to it. Streamlining resource requests from the ICANN community into a single process is expected to result in more efficiencies.
