ATLAS II Thematic Group 2: The Globalization of ICANN - Session 1
ICANN has been created to provide a global infrastructure to manage worldwide Internet resources like domain names, IP addresses and Internet parameters. To be really "global", ICANN needs to provide a framework where all stakeholders worldwide can interact on equal footing, without cultural, geopolitical, gender, or other barriers to participation. Moreover, ICANN needs to be accountable to the global Internet community: the globalization of ICANN is strictly linked to the ability of the multi-stakeholders to set checks and balances to verify that ICANN is really independent from local constraining factors limiting the global equal access to the process.
Community Outreach Event
Nominet Trust has supported Apps for Good since it launched in 2010. Back then, the programme supported less than 50 students. In this academic year, more than 17,000 young people have signed up for the Apps for Good course.
Each year the nationwide Apps for Good Awards competition attracts the top student app teams from across the UK to compete to have their apps launched commercially. ICANN delegates are invited to meet the eight 2014 Apps for Good winners while they develop their winning ideas with leading industry app developers. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet the winners and their teachers, hear about their ideas and find out more about this fantastic programme and the other projects Nominet Trust supports.
