Dear All, A reminder that the deadline for comments on ICANN's Draft Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2015 is November 17 2011. ICANN's Draft Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2015 can be found at: http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-redlin... (redline version in English showing changes from the last strategic plan) A 32 minute discussion on the Strategic Plan was done at the beginning of the ALAC Policy Discussion Part II session at the ICANN Dakar meeting on Tuesday 25 October 2011 - see http://dakar42.icann.org/node/26923 for the audio recording of that discussion. Each year, ICANN reviews and updates its three-year Strategic Plan. After the public comment period on the draft strategic plan ends on November 17 2011, ICANN will analyse the comments, amend the strategic plan and submit the strategic plan to the ICANN board for approval in December 2011. ICANN will then develop an Operating Plan and Budget to accomplish the goals and priorities of the adopted Strategic Plan. Therefore, identifying goals and priorities (within the framework of ICANN's draft Strategic Plan) that are important to LACRALO and At-Large is crucial if we want ICANN to support/develop operational plans to achieve these goals and priorities. The At-Large Workspace for the ICANN Strategic Plan 2012-2015 at https://community.icann.org/x/cYB6AQ has been created as a central point for information on the four strategic focus areas as identified by ICANN as well as the key issues that members of the At-Large community should address in their comments. LACRALO can submit their comments on the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan at https://community.icann.org/x/PQi5AQ Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat
