Communication Plan (Project 2.2.9)

During 2016, the previous objective will particularly focus on 3 topics:  IANA Stewardship Transition developments  Regional Strategy progresses  Engaging the community in ICANN’s policy development process

ICANN LAC SWOT

| 8 ICANN LAC SWOT Strengths 1 2 Opportunities 3 Weaknesses Difficult environment for newcomers and non-English speakers Journalists/general public have low level of knowledge of DNS & ICANN work 4 Threats ICANN community is diverse and have presence in various LAC countries Positive synergies with other Internet organizations in LAC (presence in Casa de Internet) Regional community is engaged through LAC Strategy Validation of the MSM by success of the transition New meeting strategy allows ICANN meetings to be held in smaller countries in the LAC region, thus expanding regional reach. Extended, increased & multilingual visibility of our work in the region facilitates global reach & input in MSM Perception of an unbalanced MSM model Legitimacy is weakened because of low participation from other regions in ICANN processes
