'''ICANN 6''' took place in Yokohama, Japan, and was the first [[ICANN]] event to take place in Japan.


'''ICANN 6''' took place in Yokohama, Japan, and it was the first [[ICANN]] event to take place in Japan. The event was of a high interest and many persons had arrived for the meetings in which were to take place. The meetings took place in several hotels across Yokohama, including the Kaiyotei Hotel, Intercontinental Hotel and the main host the Pacifico Yokohama Conferance centre. [[ICANN]] 6 was seen to have been a very succsessful event as many issues were discussed and several were resolved. This meeting proved just how far the ICANN events had developed since its begining.
==Key developments==


The Meetings were free to attend by any interested person and as in previous [[ICANN]] events, there was also a remote participation facility, for persons who were unable to make the Event. The Local organizing committee for the event was Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC).

The meetings for [[ICANN]] 6 were to be held over a six day period, which was to be the longest an ICANN event had ever been schedulaed for. However in previous events, you will have seen that each day was seen as a busy day, and the mettings were all one after the other, which could have been seen as too much to take in for one day. Many of the meetings that had taken place throughout the event were not behind closed doors and were all availble as an open forum, even the ICANN board of directors meeting was avilable as a webcast.
==Outcomes==


The meetings covered a variety of topics and sessions included:
===Bylaws Amendments===
The board approved bylaws amendments enabling the appointment of five "At-large" directors to the board in 2000, with an eventual total of nine At-large directors.

* Whether the ICANN Board should include "At Large" Directors;
* If so, how many such Directors there should be;
* How any such "At Large" Directors should be selected, including consideration of at least the following options: selection by an "At Large" membership; appointment by the existing Board; selection or appointment by some other entity or entities; and any combination of those options;
* If selection by an "At Large" membership is to be used, the processes and procedures by which that selection will take place; and

ICANN 6 took place in Yokohama, Japan, and was the first ICANN event to take place in Japan.

Key developments[edit | edit source]

The board took action to initiate the first round of new gTLD applications.[1] A topic paper, circulated for public comment in June, served as a guide to discussions among board members.[2] In addition, recommendations and reports from supporting organizations and advisory committees provided additional context and implementation guidance. Public comment on the topic paper was robust,[3] although the summary presented at the meeting noted that roughly one quarter of the responses were "non-substantive or off-topic," while roughly half of the comments pertained to proposals for specific TLDs.[4].

The conversation regarding ccTLD delegation and administration policies was continued from ICANN 5 in Cairo. The prepared materials included a number of new position papers and statements from various constituencies.[5] The period for written public comments was very short,[6] but comments were also received at the Public Forum on July 15.[7] The presentation during the forum focused on the progress toward drafting a standard agreement between ccTLD administrators and ICANN,[8] as well as other best practices and principles for ccTLD administration.[9]
