ICANN media policy

  • Media are invited to attend all ICANN Public Meeting, panel sessions, and addresses. This applies only to the open program – some meetings (as noted on the agenda) are closed to the public and media.
  • To expedite the registration process, media representatives and freelancers are strongly encouraged to pre-register. Please do so by completing the form below.
  • All media must show valid credentials (photo ID, business card, or the equivalent). If on assignment for another publication, freelancing or researching, please bring an explanatory letter from the publication's editor.
  • All photographers and videographers accompanying reporters should register as well.
  • All panel sessions and addresses are open to the media and may be recorded unless otherwise indicated, as long as the proceedings are not disturbed.
  • Interviews may be conducted subsequent to the sessions, at the discretion of the speakers, panelists or their staff. Please contact Jason Keenan, Media Adviser, to arrange interviews with ICANN Board Chairman Vint Cerf and ICANN President and CEO Dr Paul Twomey.
