Posted on by admin

Topics include Internet internationalization, increasing domain names choices

NEW DELHI , INDIA: Internet issues from around the world are front and center in India as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers opened its 31st International Public Meeting today in New Delhi.

“This year is an important one for the future of ICANN. The U.S. government is in the middle of its Midterm Review of its Joint Project Agreement with ICANN, and we’re arguing it’s time to take the final step to originally envisioned private sector model for ICANN,” said Peter Dengate Thrush, ICANN’s Board Chairman. “In fact the public comment period closes on the final day of this meeting – so we expect plenty of discussion about this in New Delhi, and we will be encouraging everyone who believes in the ICANN model of coordination not control to make their thoughts known.”
