Introduction: ICANN’s President’s Strategy Committee was established to provide observations and recommendations concerning strategic issues facing ICANN, and contributing to ICANN’s strategic planning process, which occurs in consultation with the community. In the Board resolution approved at ICANN’s December 2005 meeting, the Board emphasized the importance of the bottom-up ICANN processes and noted that the ICANN community could also ‘benefit from the advice of a group responsible for making observations and recommendations concerning strategic issues facing ICANN.’ In this same resolution, the Board approved the appointment by the President of a President’s Strategy Committee to fulfill this purpose.
