Text
Doug Brent provided an overview of the Strategic Plan, touching on the process, noting that the Staff recommendation is for approval.
Steve Goldstein objected, on the basis that there was not enough detail on post-JPA and where ICANN wants to go long term.
Jean-Jacques noted that he sees Steve's point, but stated that the Strategic Plan has a section on key organizational challenges in post-JPA world. While he would have liked more development on that point, he can understand keeping it low profile for now.
Paul Twomey said that he can understand Steve's comment, and wondered if we could parse the issue into two parts, where we see the organization going, and where we see post-JPA. It is difficult to have great detail with the new administration coming on. We have moved to an on-year, off-year approach. One year we revise last year's plan, the next year we do a full bottom-up plan. With the next Strategic Plan, it will be a full bottom-up approach.
Dennis Jennings indicated that he believes it should be published. Steve Goldstein asked what do we mean by avoiding capture? I have very little confidence that we collectively had really fleshed out the details on where we should be going.
Katim Touray noted that ICANN is too far now in the planning process, maybe we can get this out and deal with some of the other issues with the next Strategic Plan. On globalization, he would prefer use of the word "internationalized" over "globalized". He also noted that "private sector" has particular connotations
Theresa Swinehart provided clarification on the use of the term "internationalization" versus "globalization"
Doug Brent confirmed that the Strategic Plan does not set out a specific plan for JPA transition.
The Chairman noted that we have to avoid the trap of making the Strategic Plan too Operational.
Jean-Jacques Subrenat made a point about the clear difference between interpretation and translation, and I think you mean both.
Harald Alvestrand indicated that he thinks this plan should go forward now. I think we should have the fundamental discussions, and we should have them in July.
Approved Resolution – (Approved by a voice vote 14 affirmative, 1 negative and no abstentions)Board approves the July 2009- June 2012 Strategic Plan, and directs the President and staff to move forward with the community-based operational planning process based on the Plan.
Text
Whereas, ICANN's July 2009 through June 2012 Strategic Plan builds on the work of the previous plan, and is based on input from the ICANN Board of Directors, through consultation with the community through workshops held in multiple ICANN meetings, and through public forums on the ICANN website.
...
It is hereby resolved (2009-02-03-03) the Board approves the July 2009- June 2012 Strategic Plan, and directs the President and staff to move forward with the community-based operational planning process based on the strategic objectives as set forth in the plan.
It was approved unanimously except for a "no" vote from Steve Goldstein, and stated his reasons indicating that the Strategic Plan as proposed does not adequately address the future of ICANN.
