Brief Overview

Purpose: This is a draft of PTI's first Strategic Plan for community review and input prior to finalization and adoption by the PTI Board of Directors. The plan defines PTI's strategy in delivering the IANA functions and represents a subset of the ICANN organization's strategy.

Current Status: The PTI Board has developed this draft with IANA staff and the broader ICANN org, proposed to cover the fiscal years 2021 through 2024.

Next Steps: During the Public Comment proceeding, PTI will hold community webinars on the topic. Once the Public Comment proceeding closes, PTI will consolidate the feedback, publish a summary report, and the feedback will be incorporated into the finalization of the strategic plan.

Section I: Description and Explanation

This is the first dedicated Strategic Plan for Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). PTI as an organization was constituted in 2016, the result of the IANA Stewardship Transition that created a new not-for-profit organization to operate the IANA functions under contract with ICANN. Prior to this, ICANN had operated those functions directly. The IANA Stewardship Transition created and ratified a transition plan that includes deliverables and associated milestones, and that transition plan acted as the interim strategy for PTI in its first years of operation. To align with ICANN's new Strategic Plan beginning FY21, PTI plans to adopt this plan for the period FY21-24.

Section II: Background

The PTI Bylaws mandate the development of a four-year strategic plan that outlines the Corporation's strategic priorities. Prior to adopting the plan, the bylaws state that PTI shall consult with the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, as well as the Registries Stakeholder Group, IAB and RIRs in the development and updating of the Strategic Plan. The plan shall also be subject to public comment prior to approval by the PTI Board. Upon approving the plan, the PTI Board shall submit it to the ICANN Board. The plan shall be reviewed on a yearly basis and the Corporation's actual performance shall be measured against the Strategic Plan and reported to the PTI Board.

    Holly Raiche Ricardo Holmquist , apologies for weighing in late.

    Here are some comments for consideration, following the order set out in the draft submitted for comments.

    1. Knowledge and understanding of what PTI is and does

    • Instead of "Knowledge and understanding of what PTI is and does" as a sub-header, consider using "Awareness of PTI's mandate and remit"
    • 1st para: I don't know what "targeted incomes" is being referred to, I suspect "targeted outcomes" to be the correct term
    • Not sure that referring to one targeted outcomes under Objective One and a identified risk under Objective Five is optimal, for eg. then why omit the targeted outcome under Objective Five, "ICANN org and community aligned and educated about ICANN and PTI's remit in regards to the performance of the IANA functions." which is also relevant to this thread?
    • To retain support for an awareness campaign (to which I don't disapprove), then consider dropping reference to "may be a lack of knowledge of what PIT is and does ...." and just say, these targeted outcome(s) and identified risk point to an important need for the publicizing of the critical role of PTI along with its remit in performing the naming function -- Note: better to say "performing the naming function" than "implementation of the naming function".


    2. Input into the development of ICANN policies

    • Not sure why privacy issues are being singled out in respect of risks for Objective One; I would have thought fragmentation and possibility of IANA becoming irrelevant to the global interoperability of the Internet due to an inability to keep up with new and evolving technologies and competitors are at least just as important. 
    • The subsisting IANA Naming Function Contract already provides in Section 4.5 "[that PTI shall] not publicly initiate, advance or advocate any policy development related to the IANA Naming Function. ...[but] may (i) respond to requests for information requested by Interested and Affected Parties, and, at PTI’s volition, provide objective information to customers, in each case, to inform ongoing policy discussions, (ii) request guidance or clarification as necessary for the performance of the IANA Naming Function, and (iii) publish, contribute to or comment on any document related to ongoing policy discussions, provided that, in the case of clause (iii), the primary purpose of such publication, contribution or commentary is to supply relevant IANA Naming Function experience and insight."

      So are we saying that PTI should develop clear procedures to seek and capitalize on opportunities to inform the development or implementation of policies which PTI believes will impact its performance of the naming functions?
