The ICANN Board launched the strategic planning process for fiscal years 2026 - 2030 in September 2023. This represents a significant milestone in shaping the future of ICANN. The Board Strategic Planning Committee (BSPC) leads the strategic planning process on behalf of the Board, and ICANN org works closely with the BSPC and the Board to support this work. The outcome of this process will be a new five-year strategic plan.

A well-defined strategy is essential to effectively navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities. Strategic Planning is not simply about setting goals, it is also about involving all relevant stakeholders in defining a roadmap that guides us towards our future. 

The Strategic Planning process will be done in four six key phases:

  1. Environmental
Scan 
  1. Scan and Analysis
  2. Strategy Development
  3. Implementation Strategy Development
  • Develop Strategies
  • Develop Implementation Strategies
    1. Public Comment
    and
    1. Proceeding
    2. Plan Consideration & Adoption
    3. Empowered Community Process

    This process is designed to be highly inclusive, emphasizing the active participation of the ICANN community, Board and org. The Board firmly believes that by pooling our wisdom and insights together we can shape a strategic plan that not only reflects our shared vision, but also drives ICANN towards a bright future. 

    This page intends to provide key reference documents and other useful information regarding the FY26-30 strategic planning process. 

    Thank you for your commitment and dedication to ICANN and we look forward to taking this journey of strategic planning for FY26-30 together.
