Stuart Lynn
"Build it and they will come... Views from the Afterlife of a CIO."

In times of belt-tightening particularly, University poohbahs question the value of further IT investments, forcing CIOs to justify the costs of their expanding organizations. This is both necessary and correct…no department should get a free pass. But this presents special challenges to IT organizations: the rapid rate of technological change often implies belief in a future that does not easily succumb to cost/benefit analysis with current yardsticks. Notwithstanding all the naysayers, academic institutions absorb technological change at a dizzying pace, putting it to work in ways that have revolutionized teaching, faculty productivity and creativity, and administrative efficiency. Where does the balance lie? This talk will focus on one retired CIO's thoughts after a life career of juggling the competing pressures of innovation and rationalization, and on what this means for the future.

M. Stuart Lynn retired in March 2003 as President of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a position he had held since March 2001. ICANN is an international not-for-profit organization responsible for policy and technical coordination of the Internet’s naming and addressing systems.

From 1988 through 1994, he was Vice President for Information Technologies at Cornell University, responsible for university-wide policy, strategic planning, enterprise systems, and the integration of information and network technologies. Stuart was also Assistant VP for Information Technologies at the University of California, Office of the President from 1995-1999.

He holds BA and MA degrees from Oxford University and MA and Ph.D. degrees from the UCLA, all in mathematics.  In 1994, he was elected a Fellow of the ACM. In 2004 he received the EDUCAUSE Excellence in Leadership Award.
