Hi Chokri: It’s truly wonderful to hear from you! I very much appreciate your continued support and dedication to ICANN’s work. Thank you for your question and for your thoughtful engagement in these discussions. The strategy 2.1.1, is primarily focused on ICANN org—specifically, how to enhance its agility and adaptability. Some key activities identified so far include: Implementing decentralized decision-making to empower individuals at all levels across the organization. Adopting lean and agile methodologies to streamline ICANN org processes. Evaluating organizational structures to improve flexibility and responsiveness. I hope this provides clarity! For other aspects of agility, particularly within the community-driven processes, I highly encourage you and the community to explore strategy 1.2.4—which focuses on incorporating flexibility and agile methodologies into the policy and advice development and implementation life cycle. This presents a great opportunity for collaboration, brainstorming, and evolving the PDP and advice development to be more adaptive and effective. I appreciate your engagement and look forward to further discussions on these important topics. Thank you.

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. Chokri
