outlines the strategic directions for ICANN for a three year period. Like all
strategy documents, it needs to be analyzed and understood in conjunction with
other relevant documents, such as the ICANN budget. It provides insight into
changes in ICANN’s scope, scale, funding base, and activities. It helps to
position ICANN for a post-WSIS and post-MOU world with an increased
budget, regional offices, an extensive workshop initiative, and outreach
activities to developing countries. Other changes include a proposed shift of
funding from reliance on registrars as the primary aggregators of funds to a
more centralized collection via the registries, with an increase in the amount
of money collected per domain name, in order to provide a stable foundation for
ICANN. </SPAN></FONT><FONT size=2><SPAN
