[council] FW: Secretary's Notice to Empowered Community of Board Approval of Five-Year Strategic Plan for FY21-25

[Erika Mann]

Dear Keith, All - 

I find in particular risk related points raised on page 15 (ICANN’s governance) and 24 (Geopolitics) are not fully appropriate. 

ICANN’s Governance (page 15)
Strategic risks:
• Unclear community and organizational priorities compete for scarce resources.
• The cost to implement ICANN’s multistakeholder model becomes unaffordable.
• Polarized positions or agendas that do not represent the collective interest impede progress and waste resources.
• Increased workload for the ICANN community, Board, and org impact the ability to effectively support ongoing work, resulting in community fatigue or stakeholder disengagement.
• Process complexity impedes ICANN’s ability to keep pace with the speed of external events that impact its future.
• Perceived or actual delays in decision-making fuel doubts about ICANN’s ability to address serious global issues in a timely fashion. 

Geopolitics (page 24) 
Strategic risks:

• ICANN’s inability to establish itself as a key player in Internet governance results in increased external interventions by nation states or other entities.
• Failure to anticipate legislative efforts force ICANN into a reactive mode

Best,
Erika

Procedurally, we are working to address this situation to avoid single-threaded communications on such important matters, and/or to ensure Staff have a standing action to forward such communications to the full Council list. I apologize for the delay in forwarding this.)
