With the dates for the Durban public
meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) draw
near, the world coordinating body of Internet identifiers is planning to have a
session for a new ICANN 5-year Strategic plan.
Confirming this to
DigitalSENSE Business News, the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and
Advisor to the President ICANN, Ms. Denise Michel said the special
community event has been slated in Durban for Monday July 15 for an hour 30
minutes; between 11-12.30.
This, she said, would help build
ICANN's new, overarching vision and five-year strategic plan.
According to her, Xplane, the professional
facilitators who have worked with the ICANN Board, staff and some community
groups, will help out in running a cross-constituency brainstorming and discussion
session to yield focused input for ICANN's new strategic plan.
“This session also should help prompt more
strategic conversations during our week in Durban and beyond,” she said.
Michel emphasised that building on previous discussions about how to help prepare ICANN for an increasingly
complex world, this session will solicit input on eight key areas of
consideration for the new strategic plan: role clarity; community; users;
internationalization and regional development; Internet governance; security
and stability; operational excellence; and domain name industry
engagement.
