Call for Candidates for Leadership Positions at ICANN

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into
your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so
computers know where to find each other. The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Named and Numbers, ICANN, coordinates these unique identifiers
across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global
Internet.

ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit partnership of people
from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable
and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the
Internet's unique identifiers.

ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and
it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its
coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an
important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
