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

Fri Jul 19 09:42:24 UTC 2019

Hi Erika,

Thanks for your note below.

Can you please elaborate a bit on why you see these as not fully appropriate for inclusion in ICANN’s 5-year Strategic Plan?

As I noted below, we have until next week (24 July) to exercise any action as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community concerning a Rejection Action Process (RAP). Is it your view the Council should consider this action, or something else?

Separately, there is an open public comment period (closes 5 August) on Draft Financial Assumptions & Projections and Operating Initiatives for the development of Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Operating & Financial Plan. https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-financial-projections-fy2021-2025-2019-06-14-en

This was flagged in AOB during yesterday’s Council call, but there was no substantive discussion.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Keith

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

   Hi all,

   The attached notice, dated 2 July 2019, concerns the GNSO’s obligations as a decisional participant in the Empowered Community vis-à-vis approval of the FY21-25 Strategic Plan.  This notice triggered the bylaw-mandated 21-day period for decisional participants to consider initiating a Rejection Action Process (RAP).

   Here’s the relevant language from the letter:

   “This Board Notice triggers the Empowered Community Rejection Action Process as set out at

   Annex D, Section 2 of the ICANN Bylaws. The timeline for the Empowered Community’s

   exercise of this Rejection Action Process will be tracked, including the associated deadlines, at

   https://www.icann.org/ec. The first deadline is a 21-day period for Decisional Participants to

   each consider if it will raise a petition.”

   As such, we have until 24 July 2019 to take action if needed.

   (NOTE: This original email was sent by ICANN the day I went on vacation and I only got to it upon my return. 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.)

   We can discuss further on the Council call this week.

   Best,
   Keith

   Just catching up on email. This may have already been forwarded, but this is formal notice concerning the GNSO’s obligations w/r/t the RAP and a deadline of 23 July.
