ICANN was officially invited to participate in the [[ITU]]'s [[WCIT|World Conference on International Telecommunications]] (WCIT) 2012.

ICANN President and CEO [[Fadi_Chehadé]] said that he planned to arrive early to collaborate and communicate with attendees. He also laid to rest allegations of an inharmonious relationship between ICANN and the ITU by stating, "There is no war between the ITU and ICANN. There may be confusion, by some members of the community, that believe our roles may be confused; but our roles are clearly separate and well-defined."<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=16sC6-e8hk4 Fadi Chehadé Explains the Decision to Attend the WCIT Opening Ceremony in Dubai], YouTube.
