ISPCP

[edit] Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency

The Internet Service Providers' and Connectivity Providers' constituency is one of the constituencies that is part of the GNSO. The ISPCP is the forum for discussion, reflection and development of recommendations to the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board. The ISPCP has been a part of ICANN since the its inception. Many of the members of the ISPCP were organizers of the meetings that led to the development of ICANN.

ISPs are in a unique position to help guide policy development at ICANN. As those who have been largely responsible for the stability of the Internet, we believe that it is vitally important that the GNSO and its Council balance the need to move quickly on important policy matters while thoughtfully thinking through operational and legal impacts of any recommendations. Our constituency actively supports the principle of maintaining the stability that the Internet has always enjoyed. It is important that ISPs and connectivity providers continue to have a strong voice in any recommendations or changes ICANN plans to make.

The ISPCP web site is a place where we document our work together, publish position papers and provide notice of upcoming events. If you have any questions about the content of the constituency's site, please contact our secretariat or one of the ISPCP executive council members. Contact information is provided on a separate web page.

If you are an ISP or connectivity provider, we hope you will join us in this important work! If you are interested, please browse our pages for potential members.
