[Advisors] Feb.23 Discussion of the ICANN transition

[Marita Moll]

Greetings advisors. I received a notice about this panel which is 
happening Feb. 23. Unfortunately, I will be traveling so can't tune in. 
Topic is interesting though, so I thought maybe some among you might be 
interested. Looks like you do have to register.

I am hoping there will be a recording.

Marita

ICANN Independence, Seven Years On

Thursday, February 23, 2023

11:00-12:30 EST (New York time) / UTC - 5

In 2023, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 
celebrates the 25th anniversary of its founding and the 7th anniversary 
of its transition to independence from the United States government. The 
2016 transition ended the contract under which ICANN performed the 
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions subject to US 
government stewardship; created a free-standing organization that is 
accountable primarily to its multistakeholder community; and constituted 
a significant change in the international regime for Internet names and 
numbers.  In light of its dual anniversaries, it is timely to take stock 
of ICANN’s progress as a unique global governance mechanism that manages 
functions essential to the global digital economy and society.

This webinar takes up the challenge by assembling a panel of leading 
experts who have been deeply involved in ICANN processes.  The group 
will consider such questions as: the transition’s geopolitical, interest 
group, and institutional consequences; the implementation of ICANN’s 
accountability framework and of Public Technical Identifiers, the ICANN 
affiliate created to manage the IANA functions (most notably 
coordination of the Internet's unique identifiers); the challenges ICANN 
and its community have faced in responding to new pressures from 
technological change, industry demands, and government policies; ICANN’s 
role and engagement in the wider global Internet governance ecosystem; 
and the lessons of its experience for the future of multistakeholder 
cooperation in global Internet and digital governance.

As always, the panelists’ conversation will be followed by an open 
dialogue among all participants.
