'''[[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.

On '''Monday, July 24''', thought leaders from civil society, industry, academia, and government will meet at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC for '''IGF-USA''' – the preeminent conference on Internet governance in the United States.  

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.

Join us for the 2017 IGF-USA, featuring panels on Smarter Networks, Internet of Things, Promoting a More Inclusive Internet, Nationalism and Propaganda, Government regulations and Data Localization, Internet Fragmentation, Privacy in the Age of Data Collection and Digital Dividends.
