The Draft 2013-2016 Strategic Plan is posted for public comment in accordance 
with the previously established timeline. (The timeline can be found at 
http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/stratplan2013-04jun12-en.htm.) This 
draft takes into consideration community feedback gathered through 
consultations and submitted public comments.

A Strategic Planning session is scheduled for Toronto that will be organized to 
take comment on this document and also raise for discussion future strategy 
formulation as well as a model for ICANN planning and execution.

With regard to those last two items, community feed back also indicated that 
ICANN should undertake a full-scale strategy development for the next planning 
cycle to cover 3 to 5 years and that there be clear linkage of strategy and 
execution.

Future planning cycle: Focus on developing and implementing a strategy that 
will:

Develop a shared vision and define ICANN's mission, to be followed consistently.
Consider environmental forces and new developments that will impact the 
multi-stakeholder model.
Formulate "macro-level" organizational objectives and goals that are clearly 
derived from ICANN's vision and mission.
Linkage of strategy and execution: ICANN's Strategic Plan is linked to the 
annual Operating Plan and Budget. The Execution Structure is a management 
system methodology that will ensure that strategy is translated into actionable 
and measurable goals, programs, projects and activities by:

Facilitating understanding of organizational objectives and goals that form the 
basis of the annual Operating Plan and Budget.
Measure effectiveness of initiatives and programs by implementing a management 
system of clear ownership, timelines, metrics and accountability.

These are the critical elements that will ensure that ICANN's execution plan 
support the vision and mission articulated in the Strategy and that the 
execution plan is implemented with accountability and transparency.
