The new plan for getting Board Approval is a great significant improvement over the process it replaces. The consultations with Working Groups and Constituencies have engaged constituencies Constituencies immediately and helped bring ownership of the plan closer to the edges. At Large hopes that this process will be upheld in future Strategic Plan cycles and even reinforced through enhanced collaboration between itself and the planning team. We will strive to ensure better communication with At Large Structures (ALSes) so as for the edges of the At Large Organisational Structure to have a greater voice and so as to enhance the process of global involvement in this novel governance model.

However we are concerned that, as written, the Strategic Plan is preempting the outcomes and recommendations of the Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA--WG)  with the sentence in this section of the document,  " ICANN will follow the lead of its community working groups to develop an approach to the establishment of solutions such as coordination of an emergency response team (DNS CERT) to address one of the issues of Internet security."  ALAC recommends this text be deleted  and the paragraph 4 of this section of the document would then read. "Increase international participation in unique identifier security.  Attacks on the unique identifier system can come from anywhere around the globe.  Strong international security systems and skills are first line deterrents to bad behavior.    Staff and community work will focus on global security outreach and collaboration with Regional Internet Registries (RIR) operators to improve overall security.   ICANN will follow the lead of its community working groups to to develop an approach to the establishment of solutions to address issues of Internet security.   Also, community work needs to facilitate the acceptance of internationalized registration data in the Whois database."

AfRALO AFRALO input=> AFRALO acknowledges that the stability and security of the DNS is an important element for ICANN and the global internet users. Therefore, it thinks that ICANN should prioritise the support for the implementation of DNSSEC. It highly appreciates the ICANN’s initiative to perform training for TLD operators.AFRALO argues that ICANN should come up with a plan for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity for its own operations.<end>
