'''[[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] (ICANN)''' is a global multi-stakeholder organization that was created an 1998 and empowered through actions by the U.S. government and its [[DOC|Department of Commerce]]. Its primary responsibility is to manage the Internet's core infrastructure, which consists of IP addresses, domain names, and root servers. It coordinates the Internet's [[DNS]], [[IP]] addresses and [[ASN|autonomous system numbers]], which involves a continued management of these evolving systems and the protocols that underly them.

'''[[ICANN61]]''' marks the 2018 Community Forum and will be held from '''10-15 March 2018''' in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the Centro de Convenciones de Puerto Rico. It is being hosted by [[NIC.PR]]. During this week long meeting, the community will gather for policy development processes in action, cross-community collaboration, and much discussion on the important issues facing ICANN and the community. Additional focus will be on outreach, capacity building, and showcasing ICANN’s work to a broader global audience.

On 1 October 2016, the oversight of ICANN transitioned from the U.S. government to the private sector, which will govern the Internet's unique identifiers through the multistakeholder model.

Key topics in San Juan will include discussion on the GDPR and Interim WHOIS, Next-Gen RDS, Rights Protections Mechanisms, Subsequent procedures and a number of other issues.
