ICANN Diversity Analysis: by Akriti Bopanna — published Jul 16, 2018 — last modified Aug 29, 2018 11:19 AM — filed under: ICANN, Featured, Homepage, Internet Governance
The by-laws of The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) state that it is a non-profit public-benefit corporation which is responsible at the overall level, for the coordination of the “global internet's systems of unique identifiers, and in particular to ensure the stable and secure operation of the internet's unique identifier systems”.
