Abigail is the General Counsel at the Washington, DC based Internet Association (IA). IA represents over 40 of the world's leading internet companies, from Amazon to Zynga. Our job is to be the unified voice of the internet economy in all public policy settings, including ICANN. As such, IA was proud to support the 2016 IANA transition to the multistakeholder process the ICANN community worked so long and hard to bring together.
