[IPC-GNSO] ICANN announces launch of ICANN History Project

[Greg Shatan]

LOS ANGELES – 4 May 2017 – ICANN is pleased to announce the launch of the
ICANN History Project. The project seeks to preserve ICANN's institutional
memory by capturing stories from key figures who helped to shape the
organization from its origins to the present day.

To get started, visit www.icann.org/history. There, you'll find interviews
with key figures such as Ira Magaziner, former Senior Policy Advisor to
President Bill Clinton; Larry Strickling, former Assistant Secretary for
Communications and Information and Administrator, National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce; Vint Cerf, one of the "fathers of the Internet"; Dr. Stephen
Crocker, ICANN Board Chair; and many other major players from ICANN's past.

We're presenting the ICANN History Project through thematic tracks so that
you can delve into the topics that interest you most. The first track
focuses on ICANN's relationship with the United States Government, from the
U.S. Government's role in the establishment and development of ICANN to the
steps leading up to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
Stewardship Transition.

If you want to contribute your own experiences to this project, we
encourage you to share your ICANNmemories with us. Send us a link to your
blogs, videos or pictures via Twitter using the hashtag #ICANNHistory.

If you have any questions, please email us at history at icann.org.
