2018 and Beyond: The Future of ICANN

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is essential to the smooth and continuous functioning of the internet. ICANN’s multistakeholder approach ensures that all communities and interests are included in the technical decisions that shape the internet’s architecture.

Please join Nuala O’Connor, President and CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology, for a conversation with Cherine Chalaby, ICANN’s new board chair. The discussion will address issues such as the future of new generic top-level domains, the resilience of the multistakeholder approach, and upcoming data protection and privacy regulations. Most importantly, the conversation will explore how ICANN can help ensure that the internet remains a global, expanding, and interoperable network.

A reception will follow the discussion.
