While there are aspects of this to be concerned about, and details that
need work, looking at the document as a whole it does a good job of
laying out what it is about, and then going through the pieces. And
many of those pieces are ones that I would not have considered, and do
agree are important.
Thank you,

The IETF Administration LLC has prepared its Draft Strategic Plan 2020 [1]. This is a significant expansion on the previous IETF LLC strategy and is intended to provide a comprehensive strategy both for the 2020 fiscal year and the long term.
The strategic plan is made up of the following elements, all of which are being presented for comment:
1. **Mission**. This is a literal definition of what the IETF LLC does. The mission rarely changes in the lifetime of the company.
2. **Values**. These define how the company behaves as it follows its mission. These may change over time to reflect broader social changes.
3. **Strategic Goals**. The highest priority goals of the IETF LLC. These may be short-, medium- or long-term goals or a mix. These are the big picture of what the IETF LLC is aiming to do in the next 3-5 years and so are the key setting that the board expects the company to follow.
4. **Strategic Transformations**. These detail the changes that need to be made in order to achieve the strategic goals. Each transformation details the current state and the desired state to transform into. These transformations should be achievable within 1-3 years.
This email now begins a two week consultation on this Draft Strategic Plan 2020, closing on Monday 18 May.
