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.

P.s: Sur les Hollandaises dans les réseauX informatiques. Qui (a) fait quoi? Mais encore... Pourquoi Londres alors que les Anglais ont du mal à s'adapter à l'ambiance européenne? Et pourquoi madame Lousewies van der Laan? A-t-on demandé l'avis des Hollandais et des utilisateurs des réseauX électroniques? Les médias ont-ils annoncé la nomination de madame van der Laan afin de mieuX informer la société des lecteurs qui suivent un peu les choses sur les questions essentielles liées à la bonne gouvernance de l'Internet. A quoi servent les nouvelles technologies? Et qui servent-elles eXactement? Madame van der Laan doit le savoir au chapitre démocratie et droits bien compris de tous les responsables.
