Abstract

This presentation will cover the basics of the聽Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and global Internet governance, with a specific focus on the new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) program being administered by ICANN, as well as the decision of the U.S. Government to transfer its stewardship over the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to the global multistakeholder community. The process for this transfer is being convened by ICANN, and is being accompanied by a process to enhance ICANN鈥檚 organizational accountability.
