[ALAC] Message to Board on Strategic Plan

[ABDULKARIM AYOPO OLOYEDE]

Hi all,

Here is the general overview of my proposed message to the Board  on the
strategic plan as requested by Tijani during the meeting.

This is in addition to Holly’s question to the board on the same topic.



The strategic plan of ICANN is quite rich, and We are glad it now includes
issues under Geopolitics. We think it's a fantastic document: however, we
hope more should be done in terms of having a strategy to engage members as
appropriate.

For example, ICANN is now a sector member of the ITU because of the need to
have a seat at the table where ICANN issues are being discussed within the
context and remit of the ITU. Some Government representatives to ITU
meetings come to ICANN meetings in representing a wide range of interest
and there is a need to have a strategy to engage these people within the
geopolitical theme of the strategy document as nothing can be archive as
not a lot can be achieved by a sector member without the buy-in on member
state.

Therefore, our view is that there should be a clear strategy to engage
these people to harmonize views to promote the goal of ICANN and this
should be more effective rather than an Ad-hoc discussion at the corridor.
