Dear All,

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(http://www.icann.org/), is a private sector, non-profit corporation
with technical management
responsibilities for the Internet’s domain name and address system. It
consists on a number of groups representing various interests.
See http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/ecosystem-2500x1622-21mar13-en.png
for an illustrated overview.

A Latin American and Caribbean Steering Committee (LAC Steering
Committee) comprised of regional stakeholders in various ICANN groups
(https://community.icann.org/x/g4REAg) was created after the ICANN
Toronto meeting
(http://blog.icann.org/2012/10/latin-america-and-the-caribbean-a-regional-strategy/)
to discuss a possible ICANN strategy for the LAC region.

A draft of this Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Regional Strategic
Plan is available for review and comment
in English : https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/40933220/Draft+SP+Eng+1.0.pdf
(PDF ; 2MB)
and Spanish : https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/40933220/Draft+SP+Esp+1.0.pdf
(PDF ; 2MB)

The Draft LAC Regional Strategic Plan identifies
- a vision  for the LAC Regional Strategic Plan (("What are we looking
for as a region")
- 4 Key Areas of Interest (KAI) : Political Issues, Capacity Building
and Outreach, Operations and Economic Issues
- Strategic Objectives under each KAI. There are
+ 5 Strategic Objectives under "Political Issues",
+ 9 Strategic Objectives under "Capacity Building and Outreach",
+ 4 Strategic Objectives under "Operations",
+ 6 Strategic Objectives under "Economic Issues"
- some possible indicators to measure progress (or lack thereof) of
projects undertaken to support the Strategic Plan.
- how these LAC Regional Strategic Objectives align with ICANN's
Strategic Plan 2012-2015 (http://db.tt/t1nQG5jX)

Your comments are welcomed. The LAC Steering Committee will be meeting
during the ICANN meeting in Beijing from April 6-11 2013 and
collecting such comments for further work on the LAC Strategic Plan.
Comments can be sent to lacralo at ttcsweb.org


Kind Regards,

Dev Anand Teelucksingh
LAC Steering Committee member,
ALAC (At-Large Advisory Committee) member
