> > *LOS ANGELES*: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
> > has opened its 30th International Public Meeting in Los Angeles.
> >
> > "It's fitting to host such an historic meeting in California. ICANN will
> > be looking at issues impacting the future of the Internet in the place
> > where, in many ways, the Internet was born and grew up," said Dr Paul
> > Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO.
> >
> > "The ICANN model is working and these meetings are pivotal. As a bottom
> > up, consensus-driven organization, help us get the community together to
> > discuss the direction we need to head, and how we will get there."
> >
> > Attendees and on-line participants can be part of more than 30 sessions
> > and workshops, and will help ICANN continue improving the global
> > coordination of the Internet's unique identifiers.
> >
> > Some of the highlights of the Los Angeles meeting include:
> >
> >    - ICANN's ongoing technical test of Internationalized Domain
> >    Names,
> >    - Developing policies on how IDNs will be implemented so global
> >    internet users can get their names in their languages,
> >    - A major workshop on Increasing consumer choice through the
> >    development of the application and approval process for new generic
> >    top-level domains (gTLDs, which are the part of web addresses after the dot
> >    — like .com or .info),
> >    - Enhancing protection for domain name registrants through
> >    amendments to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.
> >
> > "I can't over emphasize the importance of IDNs and new gTLDs — when
> > ICANN reaches the implementation point on these projects we will see an
> > incredible change in the way people interact with the Internet and each
> > other," Dr Twomey added. "ICANN stands for a single, globally interoperable
> > Internet — and the work on IDNs and new gTLDs is part of enhancing that."
> >
> > Dr Twomey also welcomed the announcement from the U.S. Department of
> > Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration that
> > the NTIA will consult with interested stakeholders regarding the mid-term
> > review of the Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between the Department and
> > ICANN.
> >
> > "ICANN and the Department agreed to a mid term review in 2006,"
> > Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information John Kneuer said at
> > the ICANN meeting this morning.
> >
> > "It is important that all interested stakeholders have an opportunity to
> > directly share their views on ICANN during the JPA mid-term review," Kneuer
> > added. "We feel strongly that our review must be informed by your
> > experiences with ICANN and perspectives regarding its evolution."
> >
> > The NTIA release is available at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/press/2007/PR_ICANNJPA_10292007.html
> > .
> >
> > "We welcome this public consultation. ICANN stands for one, global
> > interoperable Internet. If you believe in that, this is your opportunity to
> > tell the NTIA that the ICANN model is our best one to ensure co-ordination
> > not control," Dr Twomey added.
> >
> > "It's also an historic meeting because it is Vint Cerf's last official
> > function as board chair," Dr Twomey added. "His contributions to ICANN, and
> > the Internet, have been immeasurable. We are going to celebrate his
> > achievements at a special tribute during the meeting."
