<br>
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address
into
<br>
your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so
<br>
computers know where to find each other. The Internet Corporation for
<br>
Assigned Named and Numbers, ICANN, coordinates these unique identifiers
<br>
across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global
<br>
Internet.
<br>
<br>
ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit partnership of people
<br>
from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure,
stable
<br>
and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the
<br>
Internet’s unique identifiers.
<br>
<br>
ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and
<br>
it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its
<br>
coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an
<br>
important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
