==2021-2025 Strategic Plan - Evolving ICANN's Multistakeholder Model==
During its strategic planning process, the [[ICANN Board]] identified the improvement of ICANN's multistakeholder governance model as a core goal for the five-year strategic plan beginning in fiscal year 2021.<ref name="msmhome">[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance-plan-improve-multistakeholder-model-2019-04-08-en ICANN.org - Governance Plan - Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model], April 8, 2019</ref>
===Draft Issues List & Public Comment===
The Board held a session on governance at [[ICANN 63]] as a kick-off to efforts to solicit feedback the community around the topic of improving the MSM.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/chairs-blog-wrapping-up-the-los-angeles-workshop-20-2-2019-en ICANN Blog - Update from the Board's Los Angeles Workshop], February 2, 2019</ref> The effort to collect community feedback and define the issues was led by [[Brian Cute]].<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/enhancing-the-effectiveness-of-icanns-multistakeholder-model-moves-into-implementation-14-10-2020-en ICANN Blog - Enhancing the MSM moves into implementation], October 14, 2020</ref> The work continued at [[ICANN 64]], and in April 2019, a draft issues list<ref name="draftlist">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-evolving-multistakeholder-model-issues-list-25apr19-en.pdf Draft Issues List - Evolving the MSM], April 25, 2019 (PDF)</ref> was published for public comment.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/public-comments/evolving-multistakeholder-model-2019-04-25-en Public Comment: Evolving the Multistakeholder Model], April 25, 2019</ref> The Draft Issue List included twenty-one issues, ranging from structural to cultural, that the community believed impacted the effectiveness of the MSM.<ref name="draftlist" /> The Draft Issues List received nineteen comments during the public comment period.<ref name="draftpcreport">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-evolving-multistakeholder-model-20jun19-en.pdf Staff Report on Public Comment Process], June 20, 2019 (PDF)</ref> ICANN staff identified broad agreement that the listed issues had impacts on the effectiveness of the MSM. Several commenters noted that the issues were interwoven, and many offered solutions to specific issues.<ref name="draftpcreport" />
===Final Issues List===
Through continued sessions at ICANN Meetings and the public comment process on the Draft Issues List, the Issues List was refined and condensed into a Final Issues List, published in June 2019.<ref name="finalissues">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/evolving-multistakeholder-model-final-issues-list-20jun19-en.pdf Final Issues List - Evolving the MSM], June 20, 2019</ref> Brian Cute noted in a blog post that the intention was to continue the community dialogue at [[ICANN 65]].<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/evolving-icanns-multistakeholder-model-continuing-the-conversation-and-preparing-for-icann65-29-5-2019-en ICANN Blog - Evolving the MSM: Continuing the Conversation and Preparing for ICANN 65], May 29, 2019</ref> The Final Issues List substantially narrowed the range of issues being addressed, noting that some issues raised by the community were symptoms, rather than causes, of inefficiency in the multistakeholder model.<ref name="finalissues" /> The final list presented eleven issue clusters to focus on in the evolution of the MSM:
#Prioritization of the Work;
#Precision in Scoping Work;
#Costs;
#Representativeness and Inclusiveness;
#Consensus;
#Terms of service in leadership positions;
#Recruitment and Demographics;
#Complexity;
#Efficient Use of Resources;
#Culture, Trust, and Silos;
#Roles, Responsibilities, and a Holistic View of ICANN.<ref name="finalissues" />
