Best, Seher From: Seher Sagiroglu <seher.sagiroglu(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, January 27, 2025 at 11:07 AM To: FY26-FY30 Middle East Regional Plan <middle-east-plan(a)icann.org> Subject: FY26- FY30 Middle East Regional Plan Update Call_II Dear All, The 2nd update call will be scheduled for next Monday 3 Feb 2024 at 9:00 – 10:00 am UTC. This email will be followed with an calendar invitation. Community Feedback Sheet to solicit your input is here >> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gL-D_CrcPX1-K2Vja-cZn4A6HzbR2y3GncN… Please note that we are looking for your inputs for Column C “Proposed Regional Activities”. Though this call will be focusing on the first two strategic objectives, you are welcomed to add your inputs for any of the strategic objectives. Further clarification on the content of the each tab explained below. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. Regards, Best, Seher From: Fahd Batayneh <fahd.batayneh(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, January 7, 2025 at 11:07 AM To: FY26-FY30 Middle East Regional Plan <middle-east-plan(a)icann.org> Cc: Seher Sagiroglu <seher.sagiroglu(a)icann.org> Subject: Community Feedback Sheet Dear All, I trust this finds you well. As we start working on developing the FY26-FY30 Middle East Regional Plan, we have developed a shared GDrive document for you all to solicit your input. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gL-D_CrcPX1-K2Vja-cZn4A6HzbR2y3GncN… The document has 5 pages as follows: 1. Page 1 - Mission and Vision 2. Page 2 – Strategic Objective 1 of the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan 3. Page 3 – Strategic Objective 2 of the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan 4. Page 4 – Strategic Objective 3 of the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan 5. Page 5 – Strategic Objective 4 of the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan Unless the group says otherwise, sheet 1 doesn’t need any edits or input as the mission and vision of the FY26-FY30 Middle East Regional Plan must go inline with the overall ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan. This page also has 2 weblinks to the current draft FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan + Operating and Financial Plans. Pages 2, 3, 4, and 5 have 5 columns each as follows: 1. Column 1 entitled “Strategic Goals” is extracted from the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan. Unless the group sees otherwise, this column will move on to the Regional Plan without edits, but some of the Strategic Objectives or Strategic Goals may not be of relevance to our Regional Plan (e.g. in the FY21-FY25 Middle East Regional Plan, the Strategic Objective on Finances was not part of the regional plan as the strategy working group back then felt that it crosses with the other 4 strategic objectives). 2. Column 2 entitled “Strategies” is also extracted from the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan. This is where most of the focus will be on. 3. Column 3 entitled “Proposed Regional Activities” is where YOUR input as a group is needed 4. Column 4 entitled “Examples of Current Work” is our input as GSE Middle East based on what work we have undertaken under each listed Strategic Goal and Strategy in the current Regional Plan (FY21-FY25) and even before. This input could be helpful to your work when suggesting Activities (column 3). 5. Column 5 entitled “Expectations” is about where we would like to arrive at in the next 5 years of this new Regional Plan. Again, this is our input as GSE Middle East, and could be helpful to you when you suggest Activities under column 3. This GDrive excel sheet is in “Comments” mode to ensure that all input received is intact. If you find it challenging to use the current mode, you are kindly advised to download the excel sheet, add your input and then share it with me via email, and I will be happy to add your input to the relevant column directly with your name against it. We have a call next Monday 13 January 2023 at 09.00 – 10.00 AM UTC to discuss this sheet further, answer any questions you may have, and agree on the way forward. My colleague @Seher Sagiroglu<mailto:seher.sagiroglu@icann.org> will share a meeting invite with zoom room details. If you have any questions before the call, please feel free to share them here on this list, or reach out to me directly. Thank you, Fahd Batayneh ICANN
