Session Details

This is now a regular session at ICANN meetings to update the community on geopolitical developments from ICANN’s Government Engagement team. With these sessions, we aim to continue to improve the flow of information to the ICANN community about Internet-related public policy issues, including legislative and regulatory proposals that may impact ICANN’s technical mission, policies and processes. We have seen that governmental, regulatory and other initiatives have the potential to impact all parts of the ICANN community, and ICANN org will support the community in bringing more awareness to these issues. At ICANN75 in Kuala Lumpur, this session will focus particularly on geopolitical and regulatory developments in the Asia-Pacific region.

ICANN actively monitors the development of government and intergovernmental organization (IGO) activities to ensure that the organization has the necessary information, and resources to prepare for and address geopolitical issues with the potential to impact ICANN’s mission. Our goal is to continue sessions of this kind as an opportunity for regular interaction with the community during ICANN meetings, covering these activities.

Session Leader: Mandy Carver
