<br />
</div>
[[GAC]] is the acronym for the <strong>Governmental Advisory Committee</strong>, which is a formal advisory body providing important feedback and input for [[ICANN]] regarding its public policy. ICANN relies on certain advisory committees to receive guidance and advice related to the interests and needs of stakeholders who are not able to directly participate in the [[Supporting Organizations]]. One of these advisory committees is the Governmental Advisory Committee, which is composed of representatives of national governments from all over the world. The GAC provides its advice and guidance upon request. One of its most important responsibilities is analyzing ICANN's activities and policies as they might influence governments, especially with regards to the interaction between ICANN's policies and national laws or international agreements.<br /><br />

[[.com]] is one of the first [[TLD]]s to be used on the Internet's [[Domain Name System]]; it was originally intended for commercial purposes, though there are no current restrictions limiting it to commercial entities. It was introduced in 1985 by [[IANA]], which is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the DNS; the organization was led by [[Jon Postel]] at the time. On January 28, 1986, the entities overseeing the DNS met and restructured its makeup to correspond to 8 TLDs, including .com, the others are: [[.gov]] (government), [[.edu]] (American higher education), [[.mil]] (American military), [[.org]] (organization), [[.int]] (international, specifically NATO relations), [[.net]] (sites related to the Internet itself), and [[.bitnet]] (computers on the BITNET network).

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.

Where to start

Getting started is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not appear to be intended for spam or malice.
