ICANN Announces Strategy Panel Members
14 October 2013

ICANN welcomes over 40 diverse practitioners, subject matter experts, and 
thought leaders as members of the ICANN Strategy 
Panels<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-15jul13-en.htm> 
to support development of ICANN's strategic and operational plans.

ICANN Strategy Panels will serve as an integral part of a framework for 
cross-community dialogue on strategic matters. Designed to conduct work in 
critical strategic areas identified by the community, Board, and 
staff<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/conversation-input-24jun13-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 209 KB], the work of these panels will build on public input being 
generated to inform a new, overarching vision and five-year strategic plan. As 
illustrated<http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/strategy-panels-timeline-1400x667-14oct13-en.png>,
 there will be extensive information sharing and community engagement with the 
Panels. Panel output will be posted for public comments and community 
discussion online and at ICANN meetings, before being factored into ICANN's 
strategic and/or operating 
plans<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement>, as 
appropriate.

A video interview with Theresa Swinehart, Senior Advisor to the President on 
Strategy, is available

The previously 
announced<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-15jul13-en.htm>
 "Strategy Panel on ICANN's Role in the Internet Organizations' Ecosystem" and 
the "Strategy Panel on the Role of ICANN in the Future of Internet Governance" 
have been integrated given the topics, and are now covered under this Strategy 
Panel on "ICANN's Role in the Internet Governance Ecosystem." This panel will 
review the assumptions, linkages and frameworks that dictate ICANN's 
responsibilities in the current Internet ecosystem. It will seek insights into 
ways to maintain and enhance ICANN's stewardship of the evolving ecosystem 
while cultivating thought leadership on ways in which ICANN can serve a complex 
set of Internet constituencies.

The 5th panel originally identified will be refocused and is expected to be 
forthcoming later this year
