Multistakeholder Innovation
by Beth Noveck on January 31, 2014
The ICANN Strategy Panel on Multistakeholder Innovation
<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/multistakeholde
r-innovation> , supported by The Governance Lab @ NYU
<http://thegovlab.org/> (GovLab), has been working over the course of the
past several months to develop recommendations for how ICANN can evolve the
ways it engages and collaborates with global stakeholders in coordinating
the Internet¹s unique identifier systems. Specifically, we were tasked by
Fadi with:
1. Proposing new models for broad, inclusive engagement, consensus-based
policymaking and institutional structures to support such enhanced
functions; and
2. Designing processes, tools and platforms that enable a global ICANN
community to engage in these new forms of participatory decision-making.
To undertake answering this important charter, the Panel and GovLab
launched a 3-stage brainstorm initiative in November at ICANN 48 in Buenos
Aires. This initiative began with Stage 1: Idea Generation, which consisted
of an open call for ideas for how to innovate the way ICANN practices
multistakeholderism and collaborates across borders. This took place via an
online engagement platform <http://thegovlab.ideascale.com/> .
Starting in the new year, the Panel and GovLab proceeded into Stage 2:
Proposal Development, which has involved reviewing and organizing the
innovative ideas shared to inform an initial set of 16 proposal ideas for
ICANN. These proposals have been informed by the dialogue and ideas shared
via the engagement platform, interviews with ICANN staff and community
members, observation of ICANN¹s day-to-day work (in particular of the
Policy Development Support Team), participation in ICANN 48, expert
consultations and further independent research.
These proposal ideas are captured in an initial draft blueprint
<http://images.thegovlab.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Questfora2
1stCenturyICANNABlueprint_Jan30_14-7.pdf> meant to provide a framework for
moving ICANN toward a truly effective, legitimate and evolving 21st century
organization. Each of the blueprint¹s 16 proposals will be further fleshed
out into individual proposal drafts, which the Panel will share online,
asking experts, community members and the global public to comment, react
and provide feedback via line-by-line annotation and commenting features.
Each proposal draft will include some open questions that with your help
will enable the Panel to further marry these innovative approaches to
ICANN¹s current practices. This stage is designed to help take ideas closer
to implementation. The final stage of the Panel¹s work will feature
Collaborative Drafting, wherein the Panel will release a full report draft
via a wiki and ask the community and public for help to fine-tune.
The Panel and GovLab welcome your continued input on the preliminary set of
conclusions it has reached. We encourage all to visit the GovLab Blog
<http://thegovlab.org/> and ICANN project page
<http://thegovlab.org/icann2/> to learn more about how you can provide
feedback, comments and reactions to help the Panel move these initial
conclusions even closer to implementation. You can also reach the panel
anytime by email at icannmsipanel at thegovlab.org
