<p>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.</p>
<p>I am hoping there will be a recording.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always, the panelists’ conversation will
be followed by an open dialogue among all participants.<o:p></o:p></p>
