Background Information
Strategic planning is a fundamental part of ICANN's governance. Mandated by the organization's Bylaws, the strategic plan articulates ICANN's vision; restates ICANN's mission; and sets forth strategic objectives / goals for the next five years. The approach to develop the next iteration of the next strategic plan consists of four phases: trends identification, prioritization and analysis, drafting, and finalization of the plan. The community, Board, and ICANN org completed the process of identifying strategic outlook trends in June 2018. The Board and ICANN org then conducted an analysis of key priority trends and their impacts on ICANN. These findings will inform the strategic plan for the fiscal period 2021 to 2025. Once finalized, the strategic plan will be put into action through ICANN's five-year and annual operating plans, which specify how we will execute our work in order to meet the objectives laid out in the strategic plan. Learn more about the strategic planning process in this blog post on ICANN.org.
