<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, the
multistakeholder model has matured in response to the many challenges of
exponential growth in the Internet, so ICANN must continue to evolve and grow in
response to those challenges.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, ICANN's
mission and responsibilities are to the global community and stakeholders
worldwide.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, as a
multistakeholder organization ICANN must evolve to fully execute its narrow
mission, which is to coordinate, at the overall level, the global Internet's
systems of unique identifiers, and be in a position to meet new challenges
whether operational, policy, political or technical.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, in order
for ICANN to fully execute its mission as a multistakeholder organization and be
in a position to meet operational, policy, political, or technical challenges,
there must be an evolution of the globalization of ICANN.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, the
globalization of ICANN includes, among other things: strengthening and
continuing to evolve and improve ICANN as a multistakeholder organization; and
contributing as a partner in the Internet eco-system to strengthen awareness and
the evolution of multistakeholder Internet governance and cooperation in a
manner that ensures the continued flexibility to adapt to emerging issues.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, on 28
September 2013, the ICANN Board authorized the CEO to, among other things, "work
with other key organizations and leaders to establish a coalition towards the
formation of a movement or initiative" ("Coalition"), in order to address
increasing concerns regarding the effectiveness of a "global, open,
multi-stakeholder Internet governance system."</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, the
President and CEO has executed the mandate of the 28 September 2013 Board
resolution and has helped facilitate a number of activities, including:</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">(i) the expansion

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, on 17
November 2013, the Board approved Resolution 2013.11.17.01 directing the
President and CEO to continue supporting the three emerging and evolving
initiatives and recognizing that ICANN, as part of the Internet ecosystem, is
just one of the many participants providing resources and support to the
following three initiatives:</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">(i) the expansion

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, in
Resolution 2013.11.17.01, the Board noted that "without strengthening a global,
coherent approach to Internet governance, ongoing and emerging issues will not
be properly addressed in a collective, collaborate way, which may inadvertently
affect the operational unity of the Internet, consistent with ICANN's
mandate."</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, the
continued globalization of ICANN must evolve in several ways, including:
partnerships in the broader Internet eco-system to strengthen multistakeholder
Internet governance frameworks; strengthening ICANN itself, including
affirmations of commitments and relationships among the stakeholders; evolving
the policy structures to serve and scale to the needs of the global community,
and identify opportunities for the future legal structures and IANA
globalization.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, given
the nature and breadth of issues involved with the continued globalization
efforts, ICANN has recognized the importance of the timely establishment of
groups of Board members to focus on given topic areas, and then report and make
recommendations to the President and CEO, and the full Board, for
consideration.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Whereas, as part
of its continued globalization efforts, ICANN should establish certain
"President's Globalization Advisory Groups" composed of Board members to address
the following areas: Affirmation of Commitments ("AOC"), policy structures,
legal structure, root server system, the IANA multistakeholder accountability,
and Internet governance.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">Resolved
(2014.02.17.01), the Board approves the creation of several President's
Globalization Advisory Groups in order to support further ICANN globalization.
These Advisory Groups of Board members are being set up to provide guidance to
the full Board in support of ICANN's globalization work led by the President and
CEO. The President's Globalization Advisory Groups will meet with the community
during ICANN 49 Singapore Meeting, and around IETF 89, and other community
meetings to discuss the ICANN globalization issues. The President's
Globalization Advisory Groups will then make recommendations to the Board, which
the Board will report during ICANN 50 London Meeting.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: consolas, monospace">This resolution
is a continuation of the Board's 28 September 2013 and 17 November resolutions
providing ICANN's President and CEO with a mandate to explore how ICANN could
coordinate with stakeholders from across the globe to address the pressing issue
of the future of Internet governance. On 28 September 2013, the Board directed
the President and CEO to work towards the establishment of a coalition to start
an effort to form an Internet cooperation agenda, and to do so in a manner
consistent with ICANN's mission. Following the September meeting, the President
and CEO executed the mandate of the 28 September 2013 Board resolution and
helped facilitate a number of activities, including: (i) the expansion and
launch of a previously announced strategy panel now entitled "Panel on the
Future of Internet Governance;" (ii) development of and participation in the
"1net initiative"; and (iii) encouraging the establishment of and support for a
meeting on multi-stakeholder Internet governance that is now likely to take

multistakeholder model have been exposed to many challenges, and ICANN must
evolve to face the challenges. ICANN's mission and responsibilities are to the
