than 40 diverse practitioners, subject matter experts and thought
leaders have been working together since October 2013 as members of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Strategy Panels to support development of <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s strategic and operational future.</p>
<p>Strategy Panels are advisory in nature and report to the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> President and CEO. Their quintessential objective is to inform and support <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s planning process. As highlighted at the opening ceremony at <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s
public meeting Durban (July 2013), the Strategy Panels' work and output
is designed to be informative and will not go straight to
implementation.</p>
<p>Each of the four panels has now published its draft recommendations,
which are being translated into the five additional UN languages and are
<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/strategy-panels-25feb14-en.htm">open for public comment</a>. The recommendations are varied and wide-reaching, from partnering in a study to define an architectural vision for <abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr> in 2020 to organizing participants by topic rather than constituency groups to adapting <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s
cultural to a multi-lingual and multi-cultural one. Highlights of
recommendations by each panel are included below. For more information,
please refer to each panel's draft report.</p>
