<P><STRONG><EM>New Delhi, India</EM></STRONG>… ICANN today announced, in
partnership with the Center for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC),
plans to coordinate on the creation of a Center of Excellence in Domain Name
System Security in India.</P>
<P>The Center of Excellence is anticipated to work alongside ICANN security
staff to design research projects intended to solve critical Domain Name
System (DNS) security issues, such as thwarting cyber attacks. The center is
also envisioned to be home to a state-of-the-art research laboratory to
evaluate and test security solutions.</P>
<P>“This center will play a central role in ensuring the security and
stability of the Domain Name System,” said Fadi Chehadé, ICANN President and
Chief Executive Officer. “The Internet has become one of the world’s most
valued resources and it is deserves nothing less than full global
cooperation and collaboration in developing concrete solutions to combat
threats to the DNS.”</P>
<P>Fadi Chehadé, along with Dr. Rajat Moona, Director General of CDAC, will
sign a letter of intent regarding the building of the center during a
signing ceremony at the Internet, Mobile & Digital Economy Conference
(IMDEC) IMDEC is a conference organized by the Federation of Indian Chambers
of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in association with the Ministry of
Communications and IT. The topic of the conference is Internet to Equinet:
Empowering a Billion OnLine”. Minister Kapil Sibal, Indian Minister of
Communications and Information Technology, will oversee the signing
ceremony.</P>
<P>The Center for Development of Advanced Computing is the research and
development arm of India’s Department of Electronics and Information
Technology, a part of India’s Ministry of Communications & Information
Technology.</P>

<P><STRONG>About ICANN: </STRONG><EM>ICANN’s mission is to ensure a stable,
secure and unified global Internet. 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. Without that
coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998.
It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants 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. 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.<STRONG> For more
