Dear All,

Through a series of exercises, the ALAC identified their top three FY26 Strategic objectives which are outlined below.

[1] Strategic Objective 1: Evolve and promote ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model to sustain its inclusive Approach to Internet Governance

[2] Strategic Objective 3: Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to evolve the Internet’s unique identifier systems

[3] Strategic Objective 4: Strengthen the stability and security of the Internet’s unique identifier systems

The ALAC further determined that the following Strategic Goals and corresponding Strategies be prioritized, to guide the ALAC’s direction and activities for Fiscal Year 2026 (i.e., 1 July 2025 - 30 June 2026).

Strategic Goals Strategies

The ALAC is seeking input into the activities and direction that would demonstrate that the selected set of Strategic Objectives, Strategic Goals, and Strategies have been met. Thus, members of At-Large are requested to suggest CORE activities which could reflect this on The ALAC Strategic Priorities FY2026 and Downstream Activities [docs.google.com] using the Comments function no later than Thursday, 31 July. The ALAC will thereafter consider all suggestions received and determine whether any prioritization or omission is needed for the identified activities.

It is currently anticipated that the ALAC FY26 Strategic Priorities & Activities will be finalized and presented at the ALAC Monthly Meeting of August 2025.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Heidi
