Opening Ceremony[edit | edit source]
ICANN Board Chairman Steve Crocker made the ceremony's opening statements, addressing the revised meeting schedule, which will begin in 2016 and include a shorter second meeting focused on policy development by ICANN's Supporting Organizations. Crocker also mentioned ICANN's continued focus on the impending IANA stewardship transition. Chairman Crocker concluded by touching on issues of "security, stability and resiliency," mentioning recent security breaches at Sony and spearfishing attacks against ICANN. The Chairman emphasized ICANN's role in Internet security, including the organization's expansion and curation of the L-Root, which diminishes the possibility of interference in this essential structural container.
