[Marilyn Cade]

Dear BC members 
Please see forwarded  announcement for a Policy Webinar organized by ICANN staff. According to its description, it is intended to be 'for newcomers'.  I hope that some of our members can attend, even though you are not newcomers. It would be helpful for us to be aware of any materials that ICANN develops that can be useful in our own Business outreach activities.  I will forward the sign up details when they are available. 
Best Regards
Marilyn CadeBC Chair

About
ICANN: 

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 coordinates these unique identifiers
across the world, so that there can be one global Internet. The Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was formed in 1998. It is a
not-for-profit partnership  of people from all over the world dedicated to
keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition
and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers, primarily the domain
name system (DNS), IP addresses, and port numbers. For further information,
please visit http://www.icann.org.
