*ICANN to present the developmental impact of the Internet to Commonwealth
policymakers in September*

LONDON, 6 JULY 2015 – On 14 September, US-based Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organisation managing the
Internet's domain name system, will be presenting to ICT policymakers and
senior officials from Commonwealth countries areas where the Internet is
achieving its biggest developmental impact. The presentation, which will
also include key policy recommendations, will be made at the Commonwealth
Telecommunications Organisation Forum 2015
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9843160&msgid=35529&act=KXN6&c=1564312&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cto.int%2Fevents%2Fupcoming-events%2Fcto-forum-2015%2F>
to take place on 14 - 16 September 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Commenting on ICANN’s contribution to the event, Professor Tim Unwin,
Secretary-General of the CTO said that he was "delighted to note ICANN’s
engagement at this year’s Forum, which is evidence of further strengthening
of the long-standing relationship between the CTO and ICANN as two
organisations that are committed to leveraging the Internet for
development. The inputs by ICANN at this event will contribute
significantly to global efforts in strengthening the governance of the
Internet, and we look forward to working with ICANN to improve inclusivity
of these governance processes."

ICANN will also hold a dedicated session to address the transition of
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), its division responsible for
coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running
smoothly, allocating and maintaining unique codes and numbering systems
that are used in the technical standards (“protocols”) that drive the
Internet. This key session will highlight the importance of
multi-stakeholder partnerships and cross-border collaboration between
government agencies in the Commonwealth and beyond, and also help explain
to delegates at the event the impact the IANA transition will have.

The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation Forum, the annual ICT
event of the Commonwealth of Nations, will take place this year in Nairobi,
Kenya on 14 - 16 September. The purpose of the event is to facilitate the
exchange of ideas between senior country officials and private sector and
civil society organisations within or outside of the Commonwealth but with
an interest in telecommunications, broadcasting or the Internet.

The Nairobi event will bring together senior policymakers, regulators and
industry leaders to address the most pressing challenges in the ICT sector,
such as international connectivity, broadband access for all, the
governance of the Internet, m-commerce, and applications in health,
learning and banking.
