27 February 2020

ISTANBUL – 27 February 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that its Middle East DNS Forum,
scheduled for 24-25 March 2020, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is being
postponed. This decision was made in partnership with our hosts, as a
result of the COVID-19 outbreak, considered a public health emergency of
international concern by the World Health Organization
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/j3bR012PC000a0uNEdc0j00>.

A new date will be determined in coordination with the event host, the
Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/F1aRP00dc0C0u2j3000EdN0>).

ICANN thanks the CITC for its efforts to host this meeting. We appreciate
their understanding and look forward to returning to Riyadh in the future.

This decision comes one week after the ICANN Board of Directors announced
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/E0d0C0udRea0N03E2j00P01> that the ICANN67
Community Forum, which was scheduled for 7-12 March 2020 in Cancún, Mexico,
will instead be held as a virtual conference with remote participation to
ensure the health and safety of all attendees.
About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That
address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation
with a community of participants from all over the world.
