Rod Beckstrom,CEO and President of ICANN ,commented ICANN's strategic plan for July 2010 -June 2013.
"The ICANN meeting in Seoul was my first meeting as CEO, and coincided with the kickoff of the ICANN Strategic planning process, an essential basis for ICANN’s operational and budget planning process. Based on my experience with other organizations and Boards, I was interested in taking the planning processes of past years, and evolving it into an approach that identified key strategic focus areas that captured ICANN’s mission and mandate, namely:
DNS stability and security;
Consumer choice, competition and innovation;
IANA and core operations and
A healthy Internet eco-system.
These four focus areas were the building blocks used to identify strategic objectives, key strategic projects and perhaps most importantly, the tremendous community and staff work that will be undertaken in the next few years.
Underlying these four strategic areas are key values, or enablers, that cut across all of ICANN’s work. These are essential to ICANN succeeding in all of its challenges, and an important reflection of the principles by which the organization operates. "
