About us
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a nonprofit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It helps promote competition and develop policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.

The multistakeholder model is essential to shaping the Internet’s future, bringing together voices from the technical community, civil society, academia, businesses, and governments to collaborate on decisions. In this video, experts Alan Davidson, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information and NTIA Administrator, Bernadette Lewis, Secretary General, Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation, and Cheryl Langdon-Orr, ALAC (ISOC AU), discuss how this approach gives everyone an equal voice at the table, fostering collaboration, acknowledging diverse perspectives, and building consensus. These diverse views lead to stronger, more well-rounded decisions. For over 30 years, this inclusive model has been the foundation of Internet governance, connecting stakeholders to create a resilient, open, and innovative digital future for all.
