>
> Thank you for your continued interest and support of the ICANN  
> strategic development process. We are energized by the productive  
> dialogue that took place at ICANN45 in Toronto and are making plans  
> for the next phase of strategy development.
>
> The purpose of this announcement is to provide an update on the  
> strategic plan work conducted thus far and to outline the new  
> approach to strategy introduced during the Toronto meeting.
>
> Recent executive changes give ICANN the opportunity to reinvent our  
> vision and how we think about strategy. Considering the effects of  
> the evolution of Internet operations, services and use, the  
> introduction of new gTLDs, and the challenges to our multi- 
> stakeholder model, this opportunity comes at an ideal time. In  
> order to dedicate appropriate attention and focus to the  
> formulation of ICANN strategy for the next five years, we propose  
> to kick-off the planning process in June 2013. This delayed start  
> will enable a more thorough preparation of the planning activities,  
> a well-planned timeline to ensure full engagement of the Board and  
> key stakeholders, and the formulation of the five-year strategy in  
> time for the annual planning cycle for the fiscal year starting on  
> July 2014 (the annual planning cycle typically begins in October).
>
> 2012-2015 Strategic Plan will remain intact for 2013
>
> ICANN will continue to operate under the Board-approved 2012-2015  
> Strategic Plan as it begins the work of implementing a more  
> strategic approach to planning for the next five years.  The  
> objectives and goals that the ICANN team is working on now stem  
> from the current Strategic Plan and are closely integrated into the  
> Operating Plan and Budget cycle in progress for the fiscal year  
> which will begin on 1 July 2013.
>
> Discussions at the ICANN meeting in Toronto in October 2012 and  
> subsequent input confirmed that community stakeholders recognize  
> the importance of a new strategic approach and support the idea of  
> operating under the current Strategic Plan until the new plan can  
> be developed. The new plan will be developed with leadership from  
> the Board and CEO and participation from the stakeholder community.  
> ICANN will not take any further steps on the Draft 2013 – 2016  
> Strategic Plan.
>
> During the 2013 planning cycle, we noted several changes in  
> environment that have an impact on ICANN's strategic objectives.  
> These factors have been analyzed and will be considered in the  
> development of the 2013 Operating Plan and Budget and ongoing  
> strategic planning, along with community comments and feedback.  
> Some examples include:
>
> Internationalization - ICANN will work with the community to define  
> principles to help guide ICANN's internationalization. This work  
> will include steps to enhance: global engagement of stakeholders;  
> integration of global and regional responsibility; clear  
> communications; and government relationships internationally.
> Demand for training, capability building and new governance  
> structures - The expansion in TLD operators resulting from the new  
> gTLD program is expected to increase the demand for training and  
> capability building, as well as the possibility that new structures  
> may be needed to accommodate the needs of a broader and more  
> diverse group of stakeholders. The significantly larger number of  
> gTLDs also is prompting an updated definition of ICANN's role  
> relative to "consumer trust."
> Next phase of ICANN strategy
>
> The proposed strategy structure will cover five years and will  
> include an enduring and aspirational vision, a statement of purpose  
> or mission, and overarching objectives. It will be tightly coupled  
> to ICANN's future Operating Plan and Budget.
>
> ICANN's plan for moving from strategy to execution involves a  
> clearly defined strategy and key indicators; a management plan with  
> goals and objectives; and an Operating Plan and Budget which  
> supports the strategy, objectives and goals. Capacity and resource  
> analysis will be undertaken in order to evaluate potential projects  
> based on strategic alignment, prior to commencement of work. The  
> Operating Plan and Budget will include metrics and specific  
> accountabilities to ensure that progress is being measured,  
> monitored and evaluated on a regular basis.
>

> Detailed information about the timeline, the process and community  
> participation will be shared at a later time.
>
> We thank the community for its ongoing engagement and  
> participation. The comments and feedback provided by stakeholders  
> will be incorporated in the strategy development, as we move forward.
>
> Public comments and community feedback is available here.
