Summary: 

Session goals and outcomes:

The goal of the session is to give first-time attendees an overview of the organization and how it works; an overview of the conference and the work being done; and provide insights into one specific topic - security - chosen by first-time attendees themselves.

The outcome will hopefully be a useful foundation of knowledge for new ICANN attendees and a gentle introduction to the organization.
