SVP, Global Domains & Strategy

Theresa Swinehart is the Senior Vice President of Global Domains and Strategy. In this role, she works with the community, contracted parties, stakeholders, and policymakers to ensure broad and inclusive engagement, consensus-based policymaking through ICANN’s multistakeholder model, and effective, accountable policy implementation. Her responsibilities include policy implementation, review operation, and cross-functional strategic initiatives such as ICANN’s compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. An expert in global Internet governance, Theresa also serves as co-deputy to the President and CEO. Her extensive industry experience, including nearly 20 years as a key contributor to ICANN’s growth and development, gives her a valuable perspective on how ICANN organization can work efficiently and collaboratively to better serve the global Internet community.

Theresa rejoined ICANN after three years as Executive Director of Global Internet Policy at Verizon Communications, where she specialized in emerging issues as well as stakeholder and policy engagement. Prior to this, she served as ICANN’s Vice President of Global and Strategic Partnerships, leading a team responsible for partnership reform, global engagement and outreach, and the participation in international forums. Before ICANN, Theresa was Director of Global E-Commerce at MCI, where she was responsible for such issues as Internet service provider liability, data protection, and participation in Internet-related forums, including the formation of ICANN. 

Theresa has a bachelor’s degree in international relations from the University of California, Davis, a graduate degree in international studies from the University of Vienna, Austria, and a juris doctorate from American University. She served on the Internet Society’s Board of Trustees and Internet Governance Forum’s Multistakeholder Advisory Committee. Theresa began her career in international human rights.

Cuando la semana pasada publiqué mi blog mensual, el proceso de mejoras en la responsabilidad y la gobernanza de la ICANN, crítico para el éxito de la transición de la custodia de las funciones de la IANA, se acercaba al cierre de un período abierto de 21 días para la presentación de comentarios públicos. Me pareció importante confirmar que el período de comentarios públicos ha finalizado y aprovecho para agradecerles a todos los que enviaron comentarios.

Hemos recibido comentarios de una amplia gama de partes interesadas, desde miembros de la comunidad hasta el Gobierno brasilero. Siete organizaciones de la comunidad suscribieron una declaración conjunta de comités asesores, organizaciones de apoyo, grupos de partes interesadas y la comunidad (SO-AC-SG-C), una presentación que luego fue respaldada por comentarios adicionales.

Los temas abarcados en los comentarios incluyen la estructura del proceso, el rol que debería desempeñar la Junta Directiva en él, la participación, el alcance y el cronograma.

Todos los comentarios se encuentran archivados aquí y son de acceso público.

Les anticipamos que se harán algunas modificaciones al proceso actualmente publicado y que presentaremos estos cambios a la comunidad lo antes posible.

Nuevamente, gracias a todos aquellos que se tomaron el tiempo de enviar comentarios. Esperamos con ansias la próxima etapa del trabajo y verlos pronto en Los Ángeles en el marco de ICANN51.
