The ICANN planning process is continuous and allows for an overlapping of its three components:

  • Strategic Plan, which is developed with community input and is updated every five years. This Strategic Plan will shape our priorities, inform our budget and drive our activities.ICANN's Strategic Plan for FY2016-FY2020 was approved by the Board and published on 14 October 2014.
  • Five-Year Operating Plan, which is developed with community input and is updated yearly. Containing Five Year Planning Calendar, at the Goal level: corresponding Key Performance Indicators, Risks, Dependencies, and their 5-Year Phasing, and a list of Portfolios plus a Financial Model.
  • Annual Operating Plan and Budget, which is derived from the Five-Year Operating Plan along with input from the community.

FIRST DRAFT SUBMITTED

The ALAC welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Draft Five-Year Operating Plan for FY16-FY20 and hereby submits its comments:

  • We are concerned that the document does not take into account the possible impact, if any,  that the IANA stewardship transition may have in ICANN’s operations. Therefore, we recommend that an assessment of the possible impact that the IANA stewardship transition may have in ICANN’s operations.

  • The document seems to suggest that stakeholder engagement is to be encouraged by staff only. In this regard, our vision is that stakeholder engagement must be a task carried out by the community, including staff, but not just by staff. We therefore recommend that the wording in the document refers to the wide ICANN community, in general, and not only to staff.

  • Several goals are suggested to be measured by metrics in which the only indicator refers to documents that deal with planning but not with implementation. We therefore recommend that metrics focus not only in planning but also in implementing and that implementation metrics be included in those strategic objectives or goals where fit. A  clear  useage SMART results based charts would be recommended.

  • We have repeatedly recommended that awareness and participation fostering efforts must be done at local, regional and international levels, especially with under represented stakeholders, regardless of their economic strength or development. We therefore recommend that engagement is encouraged with these communities and at these three levels, establishing metrics that reflect the scope of action not only with international organizations but also with regional and local entities.

The ALAC trusts that these comments will be taken into account to define the final version of ICANN’s Five-Year Operating PlanThe first draft submitted will be placed here before the call for comments begins.
