PUBLIC COMMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: ICANN's Draft Vision, Mission & Focus Areas for a Five-Year Strategic Plan
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 30, 2013

Oct. 30, 2013

Dear All, Please note that a new Public Comment on ICANN's Draft Vision, Mission & Focus Areas for a Five-Year Strategic Plan<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-29oct13-en.htm> has opened. The overarching, aspirational "Vision, Mission and Focus Areas" draft reflects priorities identified in Board strategic planning efforts, as well as key themes that emerged from staff and community discussions around external challenges and strategic issues. The draft proposes a new Vision, reiterates ICANN's existing Mission, and describes five proposed Focus Areas with goals: I. Evolving ICANN’s implementation of the multistakeholder approach for coordination II. Developing a world-class public responsibility framework III. Supporting a healthy unique identifier ecosystem IV. Striving towards technical and operational excellence V. Defining role clarity for ICANN in the Internet governance ecosystem At this stage of development, we are seeking general feedback, as well as input on measurable outcomes for these Focus Area Goals: * Overall –Does this draft appropriately outline ICANN's future? Are we missing a strategic element you see as critical for ICANN to address in the next five years? * Focus Area Goals –What specific outcomes or achievements should we target for each of the Focus Area Goals? What quantitative / qualitative elements should we consider in measuring progress / results for each Focus Area Goal? Input will inform a proposed ICANN Vision & Five-Year Strategic Plan that will be posted for public comment from February to March 2014. This approach enables the community to be involved throughout the strategic plan development process<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement>. It also enables us to incorporate some evolving issues and potential outcomes of the Strategy Panels (as appropriate, after community input). Equally important, this approach enables us to incorporate ongoing staff work (especially for some of the newer Focus Area Goals) that will yield additional elements for ICANN’s final strategic and/or operating plans (e.g. prioritization, timing/staging over five years, critical success factors, specific outcomes, resources, and metrics and monitoring). Background information is posted here<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement> and more information will be forthcoming as work progresses on organizational targets and how we get there (the route to achieving the vision, mission and focus area goals).

ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Names New Chief Security, Stability and Resiliency Officer
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 29, 2013

Oct. 29, 2013

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-29oct13-en.htm ________________________________ ICANN Names New Chief Security, Stability and Resiliency Officer Jeff Moss Announces His Departure as Chief Security Officer 29 October 2013 Los Angeles, California… John Crain has been named ICANN's new Chief Security, Stability and Resiliency Officer. In this newly created position Crain will assume the responsibilities of Jeff Moss, who announced he is stepping down from his position as Chief Security Officer at the end of the year. More broadly, Crain will lead a team focused on the security, stability and resiliency (SSR) of the Internet's unique identifier systems. They will work closely with the ICANN community to enhance SSR and increase understanding of its importance. Crain, who has been at ICANN for 13 years, has served most recently as ICANN's Senior Director of Security, Stability and Resiliency. In his new role he will report to Akram Atallah, President of the Generic Domains Division (GDD). "John was a natural pick for us," said Atallah. "He knows ICANN, he is well respected across the community and his extensive expertise in the arena of SSR has been firmly established." Moss, who was appointed to his current position in April of 2011, said even though he is leaving ICANN, he intends to stay an active part of the community. Most recently, Moss and Crain worked together to help ICANN devise ways to study and address the "name collision" issue with measures and procedures aimed at mitigating any potential problems. "We are taking a slow and careful approach to this issue and since the roll-out of new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) will be very gradual, I'm confident that name collisions will not pose any major issues that can't be responded to responsibly," said Moss. "Now that we have a clear path forward, I feel like this is a good time to announce my departure." "Jeff has been at the forefront of protecting the Internet's addressing system during his tenure at ICANN," said Atallah. "We are grateful for his contributions and wish him the best moving forward." ICANN also announced the formation of a new Security, Stability and Resiliency Executive Committee, led by Chief Executive Officer Fadi Chehadé and made up of members of ICANN's executive team. The committee will keep abreast of emerging SSR issues, track potential risks and develop mitigation strategies. ### To download a high-resolution photograph of John Crain, please visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/icann/10332605796/sizes/c/ To download high-resolution photographs of Jeff Moss, please visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/icann/5658860869/sizes/l/in/photostream/ To watch a video interview with John Crain, please visit: http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/kits/video-crain-security-stability-17se… MEDIA CONTACTS: James Cole ICANN Global Media Coordinator Washington, D.C.

ICANN News Alert -- UNESCO, ICANN and ISOC to Launch Development of Glossary on Internet Governance for Arabic Speakers
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 28, 2013

Oct. 28, 2013

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-27oct13-en.htm ________________________________ UNESCO, ICANN and ISOC to Launch Development of Glossary on Internet Governance for Arabic Speakers 27 October 2013 UNESCO, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Society (ISOC) are finalizing a framework to establish an Arabic glossary of Internet governance terms to support engagement in multistakeholder Internet governance processes by Arabic-speaking communities. Participation of all stakeholder and geographical communities is essential for a healthy and vibrant Internet ecosystem. Evidence shows that speakers of languages where Internet terminology does not exist tend to be increasingly disadvantaged in everyday conversation and professional settings, as well as in being able to participate actively in Internet governance processes. Internet governance sees a constant and rapid introduction of new terms and concepts. This new glossary will help ensure that Arabic-speakers have the necessary language tools to fully participate in and contribute to multistakeholder policy-making processes on various platforms, including the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) and Internet Governance Forum (IGF). The partners in this project seek to provide methodological assistance to Arabic-speaking countries and communities – particularly national and regional professional organizations working in the field of language policy development and Internet governance. The project will be a collaborative process involving multiple stakeholders, and will also include a public consultation. As an open, inclusive and fully multistakeholder process, the next step will be a call for national and regional professional organizations in the field of language policies, experts on Internet governance issues and any other volunteer experts to join efforts and consult on the development of terms for the glossary. If you are interested to contribute to the implementation of this project, please send your expression of interest to Ms Irmgarda Kasinskaite-Buddeberg by email at: i.kasinskaite(at)unesco.org.
