>> What Is 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. 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 public-benefit  
>> corporation
>> with participants 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.
