[Euro-board] Fwd: URGENT: Regional input to 2011-2014 Strategic Plan requested

Fri Jan 7 02:26:13 UTC 2011

Dear Olivier and all,

first of all, I wish all of you and your families the very best for the upcoming year 2011!

I guess, it's a difficult moment to start a community consultation on such 
an important and complex issue like the Strategic Plan, and I think we should 
concentrate on the input we have so far from Sébastien - what I endorse as well - 
and to accomplish it by Olivier's remarks that the ICANN Strategic Plan 2010-
2013 is on a right track but does not go far enough to "involve public participation" 
and to "develop At Large". As discussed in Cartagena and before, empowerment, 
capacity building etc. of the At Large community is crucial for any substantial 
participation in the ICANN policy development process. And in this context, regular 
regional F2F GAs are a necessary precondition ... 

I further agree with Olivier's remark on "ICANN needing to design risk assessment 
scenarios with regards to future domain name development as well as Internet Governance. 
ICANN is still driving in the dark with lights off, hoping not to fall into a pothole."

Any further comments are appreciated!

Thanks and kind regards,
Wolf
