ICANN releases draft on strategic plan

Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN)  has released for public comment a draft of
the three year ICANN Strategic Plan. The public comment period will commence today and will end on 15 January 2005 at 17:00 UTC. The not for profit organisation announced this at Marina del Rey Tuesday as its meeting scheduled to hold in Cape TOWN, South Africa from December 1 draws nearer.
 

The proposed Strategic Plan can be found can be found on ICAAN's website www.icann.org ICANN regards the Strategic Plan as a tool for guiding ICANN’s use of its resources to best enable ICANN’s mission.
This Plan does not seek to make any statement or limitation on how the Internet community may seek to engage the ICANN policy forum, or prescribe any future direction for policy development.

The Strategic Plan is a rolling three year plan
covering the fiscal years 2004/5 – 2006/7, subject to
change as new issues emerge and new priorities are
established. Because an initial version of this plan
was prepared in 2003, some figures include the 2003/4
fiscal year, as well.

The Plan is an essential business tool for budget
planning in ICANN’s development to assess that
community-derived priorities are appropriately funded,
that resources aren’t consumed by an emphasis on the
wrong goals, and that where resources are committed to
unanticipated demands, this be accounted for in future
planning.

The process of developing and approving the Strategic
Plan does not replace the annual budget process, but
is a supplement to that process to assist long-term
planning.

ICANN encourages public comment to ensure that
community concerns are addressed and accounted for in
the Strategic Plan. A lengthy public comment period
has been established to allow ample discussion of the
Strategic Plan, even through the upcoming holiday
season and beyond.
