'''[[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.

'''ICANN 58''' is being held from '''11-16 March 2017''' at the AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen in '''Copenhagen, Denmark'''. It marks Meeting A of 2017, under ICANN's new meeting structure. [[ICANN Meetings|ICANN meetings]] provide an opportunity for a diverse set of stakeholders across the world to come together and discuss and develop policies on the Internet's domain name system.  

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.

In addition to the all of the important issues covered during this meeting, [[ICANNWiki]] has a new limited edition Playing Card decks, the ICANNWiki Quickie, the caricature badges and of course our [[Edit-a-thon - ICANN 58|Edit-a-thon]].
