Who governs the Internet's crucial resources - domain names and IP addresses? Who makes the rules about adding new Top Level Domains to compete with dot Com? Would you like to use dotWine, dotFilm, dotSport or dotSex? What are the rules about allocating IP addresses? Can they be allocated by governments? Can they be sold? Might they be taxed? For the past 11 years, a bold global experiment has been successfully conducted, in forming an international, not for profit organisation to deal with these matters. This organization is ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Based in California, ICANN is designed to be global, self-regulating, industry-led, and largely free from government interference. Today it is facing some challenging issues which have recently hit the international stage. It may surprise you that this influential organization is chaired by a Kiwi - Wellington barrister Peter Dengate Thrush. Peter will be speaking to us about this unique organization and the challenges it faces. This will be a fascinating presentation for anyone interested in the future of the Internet. Come along and hear from a New Zealander who is on centre stage of the Governance of the global Internet.
