No.  The completed plan will be presented to the Board at this
weekend's Board meeting, for their approval, along with the budget
that will support it.

Historically, the Action Plan was drafted each year entirely as a
staff document.  This year, we under took quite a bit of consultation
about the effort, our longer-term objectives, and so on.  We started
last March: you should have received an invitation (with the Subject
line "Internet Society Survey - Action Plan 2020 and Strategy 2025")
asking for your views about priorities and so on.

The feedback opportunties happened during the year, as we developed
this.  This is the result of that.  This year's collaborative
development of the plan was intended as a first step, with the
expectation that the collaboration between the Internet Society staff
and the wider community will get stronger over time.  To that end,
this weekend we will also be announcing a now long-planned change to
the staff structure that, among other things, is intended to make
staff & community collaboration easier and more fluid.

Best regards,

Andrew
