'''ICANN 1''' was held in Singapore, between March 2nd and 4th, 1999. As [[ICANN]]'s debut public Meeting, held just 5 months after the formation of the non-profit, ICANN 1 consequently involved the laying of the groundwork for the structure and functioning of future [[ICANN Meetings]]. Individual meetings were held in several venues around the city, including the Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Pan Pacific Hotel.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/singapore/ ICANN.org]</ref>
