ICANN invites the community to participate in an open strategic outlook trends session to help ICANN continue to be aware of trends that affect its mission and mandate.
With the rapid evolution of the Internet and variety of influencing
factors, trends can change rapidly and in unexpected ways. The purpose
of these open sessions is to build on past trend identification work in
order to update our shared understanding of opportunities and challenges
relevant to ICANN‘s current and future strategy. In order to support broad community input, ICANN
will hold two remote sessions in addition to stakeholder group-specific
sessions. (Check with your community group for date and time of your
stakeholder group-specific session.)
Join this important discussion, all are welcome! Please note that participation will be limited to 40 participants per session, on a first come, first serve basis due to the breakout format. Sessions will be held in English. Learn more about the remote sessions in this briefing paper [PDF, 172 KB].
Open Session #1 Link: 30 March 2020, 15:00 – 16:30 UTC
Open Session #2 Link: 30 March 2020, 23:00 – 00:30 UTC
Background
The Strategic Outlook Program is a joint effort between the ICANN
organization, the community and the Board. New trends or shifts in
existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual),
and/or budget, will be factored into the annual iteration of those plans
as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to
the strategic plan.
About ICANN
ICANN‘s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
