Global Internet Stakeholders to Convene in Singapore for ICANN’s 52nd Public Meeting
📅 - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will convene its 52nd Public Meeting in Singapore, from February 9th to 12th.
The meeting will bring together stakeholders from around the globe to discuss what the future of the Internet may look like in light of last year's announcement that the United States (U.S.) government will transition stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community.
Former Senior Advisor to U.S. President Bill Clinton, Ira Magaziner, and Singapore's Minister of Communications and Information, Dr. Yaacob bin Ibrahim, will address attendees at the meeting's opening ceremony. Details are provided below.
In the afternoon, ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé will join Board Chair Dr. Stephen D. Crocker, Global Domains Division President Akram Atallah and Vice President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific (APAC) Yu-Chuang Kuek in responding to journalists' questions during an international news conference.
