<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“Growth
of Internet activity in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>
is extraordinary so it’s fitting that the ICANN community is gathering there to
discuss major Internet issues like internationalized domain names and new
generic top-level domains,” said Paul Levins, ICANN’s Executive Officer and
Vice President - Corporate Affairs. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
ICANN Board accepted the proposal put forward by Department of Information
Technology, Government of India, along with the National Internet Exchange of
India (NIXI). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>“The
four proposals we received to host the ICANN meeting slated for the
Asia-Pacific region were extremely competitive. We want to thank the Internet
communities in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>, <st1:City
w:st="on">Hong Kong</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region>,
and the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United Arab Emirates</st1:place></st1:country-region>
for their proposals.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Each
year ICANN holds three meetings in different regions around the world. These
meetings constitute an essential part of ICANN's global consensus-building and
outreach efforts. The ICANN Meetings Committee sets the regions in which ICANN
will hold its meetings. Proposals are then solicited from organizations
interested in hosting the ICANN Meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique
identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk)
and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers
reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is
vital to the Internet's operation, so ICANN's global stakeholders meet
regularly to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security and
stability. ICANN is an internationally organized, public benefit non-profit
