[NCSG-FC] ICANN FY25 Planning Prioritization Process - NCSG representative needed

[Johan Helsingius]

ICANN is kicking off the FY25 Planning Cycle, beginning with the 
strategic outlook trend program. Community members can participate in 
trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) 
or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs 
and support teams to schedule sessions in March and April 2023.

This program is a joint effort of ICANN org, community, and Board to 
identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that 
these opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and 
future planning. Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends 
impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget are 
factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. 
Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan.

Once complete, ICANN org will conduct a trend analysis and impact 
assessment. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, 
and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. 
We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN 
planning and strategy.

Additionally, we will begin the FY25 Planning Prioritization Process in 
April. The Planning Prioritization Group will comprise members from the 
ICANN stakeholder groups as listed below. The stakeholder group 
leadership will be asked to nominate one primary member and one 
secondary member to participate in the prioritization process. 
Nominations will be due by the end of March by emailing 
planning at icann.org, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team 
(policy-strat-mgt at icann.org).
