All,</div>

</div>
<div>Perhaps of interest to the discussions on Internet
governance overall is the recently released report of
ICANN's Strategy Panel on <br>
ICANN's Role in the Internet Governance Eco-system. The
Panel examined the nature of the Internet Ecosystem and
structures that <br>
could be pursued to document the roles, responsibilities and
commitments the actors in this system have made or could
make to <br>
one another and to the community. The key deliverables of
the report were to:</div>
<div>
<p><span style="margin-left:2em">- Facilitate review of the
assumptions, linkages and frameworks that underlie
ecosystem player responsibilities in the current<br>
Internet ecosystem, including ICANN's;</span></p>
<p> <span style="margin-left:2em">- Seek insights on ways
to maintain and enhance stewardship of all actors,
including ICANN, in an evolving ecosystem; and</span></p>
<p><span style="margin-left:2em">- Cultivate thought
leadership on ways in which <abbr title="Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>
and others can serve a complex set of Internet
constituencies.</span></p>
