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
