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 here<http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/kits/video-swinehart-strategy-14oct13-en.htm>.

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
