Hello All,

I have had a few requests for information on ICANN's participation in the World Internet Conference which was held in Wuzhen, China:  http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/cnleaders/2015WIC/ and http://www.wicwuzhen.cn/english 

ICANN sent a contingent to the conference as part of its Strategic Goal 1.2 "Bring ICANN to the world by creating a balanced and proactive approach to regional engagement with stakeholders."

Fadi attended as CEO and gave a speech, and George Sadowsky attended as a Board member. 

Subsequent to the conference, the conference organizers announced that Fadi would co-chair a high level advisory committee for the next conference.

The Board had a call with Fadi to get a briefing.

Fadi has now posted a blog that notes that he has accepted this role in his personal capacity, and the advisory committee will meet after his term as CEO is completed in March 2016.
