ICANN is engaged in a strategic development and incubation process for new digital engagement tools and services that will result in a reconceptualization of ICANN.org <http://www.icann.org/> .The goal of the strategy is to drive community engagement across a continuum of potential involvement ranging from the general interest, public-facing communication that happens on ICANN.org <http://www.icann.org/> , to deeper engagement experiences that enable new and existing community members to discuss and educate themselves on a wide variety of governance topics, to experiences in which community members learn more about working group activity.
Please join us for a webinar on Wednesday, 4 September 2013 at 14:00 15:00 UTC during which we will update the community on the project background and status.
The meeting will be occur in an Adobe Connect room with a slide presentation. Participants will have the opportunity to offer comments and ask questions. During the course of the webinar, questions can be submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you cannot join the live session, the recording of the session will be made available shortly after the meeting.

Internet Governance Expert to Advise ICANN on Global Strategy Los Angeles, CaliforniaŠ
Theresa Swinehart, a leading expert on international Internet governance and policy and a major force in ICANN¹s historical evolution, has been named Senior Advisor to the President on Global Strategy.
Most recently, Swinehart served as the Executive Director of Global Internet Policy for Verizon Communications, where she specialized in emerging issues and stakeholder and policy leader engagement.
As ICANN expands its global presence, it is critical that we bring on board someone who is capable of uniting the international community in pursuit of strategic matters. said Fadi Chehadé, President and CEO.
Theresa played an important role in ICANN's history and her institutional knowledge of the past will serve us well as we look to the future.
Swinehart previously served as ICANN¹s Vice President of Global and Strategic Partnerships, leading an international team dedicated to expanding the organization¹s outreach around the world. She was instrumental in the development of ICANN, and represented the organization¹s global presence in front of a wide and ranging audience, from technical organizations to the business community and beyond. In her new role Swinehart will oversee a strategy team that has overarching responsibility for a range of strategic initiatives including ICANN¹s recently announced Strategy Panels http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-15jul13-en.htm , and the organization¹s five-year strategic plan.
As global Internet usage grows, all the issues surrounding ICANN¹s strategy and role become all the more important, said Swinehart. ³I'm excited about helping ICANN form a future vision consistent with its mission and the needs of the global community. Swinehart assumes her new position on September 16. She obtained her law degree from American University¹s Washington College of Law. Swinehart also holds a postgraduate degree in International Studies from the University of Vienna and a bachelor¹s degree in International Relations > from the University of California, Davis.
