Dear Chokri,

Thank you for your input.

The group agreed that the Strategic Objectives and Strategic Goals will remain the same as shown in the ICANN FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan.

Of course, some SOs and SGs may not fit into our regional context, and thus can be dropped.

The shared Gdrive document shows some of our regional work against each and every Strategy. How different are these from what you suggest in your email below?

Thank you,

Fahd

Dear Fahd,

Thank you  for your response , 

I personally think that before starting submitting inputs on the Objective of the strategy , let's try first to identify objectives or sub objectives that are dealing with ME community context and activities and then proceed with some iterations in order to get inputs on every identified Objective or sub -Objective .

Hope that this proposal is useful.

Friendly regards

Chokri

Dear Chokri,

Thank you for your input.

Strategic Objective 2 on “Enhance Organizational Excellence” is more about the internals of ICANN the organization. The 2 strategic goals under this strategic objective gives a sense of what it is about.

During our Monday call, some in attendance felt that strategic objective 2 doesn’t have an engagement facing element to it, and there was a suggestion to strike it out completely from the Middle East Regional Plan.

If the group still feels that Strategic Objective 2 is something we can work at the regional level, please do share your thoughts.

Thank you,

Fahd

Dear Fahd and Seher,

Sorry for not being able to attend the last Call due to some Jobs Duties,  it's a very busy period for us!

I would like just to clarify my comment about  the objective  OS2 2.1.1 Improve institutional agility and adaptability

'What we are going to improve is:  the The Institution Scope(Structural and/Or Operational) and Mission or the Institution staff capacity or Both(In Five years Terms!)?

Is more or less a question in order to identify what we are looking to make more AGIL:

If we are looking to make our ICANN ME structures more AGIL, which are mainly workgroups, technical task forces, and ALs, we need to act on their charter and scope mission by, for example, recommending the adoption of AGIL practices in their different activities.

If we are targeting community members rather than structures, we have to improve community capacity for example by developing capacity-building programs for the community members to improve their agility and adaptability.

Hope that  this response is useful.

Friendly regards.
