InternetNZ Planning Cycle 2006/07

Provided by the Executive Director to the 26 August 2006 Council meeting

Summary:

Planning Cycle

Process

The following assumptions have been agreed by Council at its 16 June 2006 meeting:

  • That Council does intend to develop a new Strategic Plan taking effect 1 April 2007
  • That the 2007/08 Business Plan and Budget will conform to the new Strategic Plan
  • That the expenditure of the Society in 2007/08 will be largely funded by means of a dividend from NZRS
  • That the Council needs to be in a position to broadly define its dividend requirements for 2007/08 by 31 October 2006, to allow for an orderly fee-setting process
