SSAC Session - Strategic Outlook Trends Identification [C]

Description: This is a joint effort between the ICANN organization, the community and the Board to engage in a discussion on what the SSAC sees as emerging trends in three broad areas: trends affecting the broader ICANN ecosystem (including stakeholders, the industry, other issues); ICANN organization/operations; and the broader geo-political environment. The ICANN Multistakeholder Support and Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) Team will present the twelve trends identified by the organization in 2017 as a basis for discussion. By the end of this brainstorming exercise, the group shall seek to reach consensus on five top priority trends to help inform ICANN on strategic and operational planning and work prioritization.
