ICANN 1 was held in Singapore, between March 2nd and 4th, 1999. It was the organizations debut public conference, and consequently involved laying the groundwork for its actual structure and functioning. The meetings were held at various venues, namely the Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Pan Pacific Hotel.[1] Currently, Singapore is one of only three cities that have hosted more than one ICANN conference; Los Angeles, California and Marina Del Rey, California , which is ICANN's headquarters, have both hosted two conferences. The second ICANN meeting to be held in Singapore was ICANN 41, held between the 19th and 24th of June, 2011.[2]

Developments

  • It had previously been decided that supporting organizations with expertise in domain names would be needed, and that ICANN should create its own group rather than rely on existing techincal and professional organizations to report to its board. Thus, at ICANN 1 in Singapore seven constituencies of Internet stakeholders were self-organized through the adoption of the Statement of Domain Name Supporting Organization Formation Concepts resolution.[3]
