ICANN Board Chairman Steve Crocker made the ceremony's opening statements, addressing the revised meeting schedule, which will begin in 2016 and include a shorter second meeting focused on policy development by ICANN's Supporting Organizations. Crocker also mentioned ICANN's continued focus on the impending IANA stewardship transition. Chairman Crocker concluded by touching on issues of "security, stability and resiliency," mentioning recent security breaches at Sony and spearfishing attacks against ICANN. The Chairman emphasized ICANN's role in Internet security, including the organization's expansion and curation of the L-Root, which diminishes the possibility of interference in this essential structural container.

Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim, Singapore's newest Minister of Communications and Information spoke next. Minister Ibrahim discussed the rapid increase of global Internet users, specifically Singapore's growth as an international hub for technological growth. Citing Singapore's Smart Nation Initiative, Ibrahim elaborated on the nation's plan to secure quick national broadband that promotes innovation with a continued focus on safety and security for users. He concluded by discussing Singapore's recent development of a Cyber Security Agency that will take a holistic approach to cyber security, including but not limited to collaboration with neighboring countries in the wake of cross-country cyber incidents.
Former Chief Internet Policy Advisor, Ira Magaziner followed Minister Ibrahim and opened with a brief history of ICANN's development. The latter half of Magaziner's opening statements mirror those he made at ICANN 40. These sentiments include:
- The development of the Internet and electronic commerce should be handled by the private sector.
- Governments should avoid imposing undue restrictions on the Internet & electronic commerce.
- If needed, government support should be minimal, predictable, simple and consistent with the legal environment for electronic commerce.
- Governments should recognize the unique qualities of the Internet.
- The Internet and electronic commerce should be handled on a global basis.
Board Chair Steve Crocker then introduced Byron Holland, president and CEO of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) and current Chair of ICANN's ccNSO.

He concluded by outlining the ccNSO's current aims, namely to complete its work with ICANN's GAC in creating its Framework of Interpretation.
