ICANN Strategy Panels
Announced at the ICANN 47 meeting in Durban, South Africa, ICANN Strategy Panels served 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 [PDF, 209 KB], Board and staff, the ICANN Strategy Panels built on public input being generated to inform the new, overarching vision and five-year strategic plan, and subsequent operating plan, for the organization.
Advisory in nature, the ICANN Strategy Panels operated in a manner consistent with ICANN's commitment to transparency and accountability and served to channel all views, guidance and advice produced into the standard community and Board processes that guide ICANN's activities (see illustration). A video interview with Theresa Swinehart, Senior Advisor to the President on Strategy, is available here for more information.
Prior to being factored into ICANN's strategic and/or operating plans, panel output was posted for public comment and community discussions online and at ICANN meetings.
ICANN Strategy Panels posted their final reports in May 2014.
