ICANN 13 was held in Bucharest, Romania in June 2002. It was to be the first ICANN meeting that was held in the country, and it was seen as a success in terms of attendance. All meetings were free to attend for any interested person, looking for new information on the topics, that were due to be discussed, and also like previous ICANN events, the option was available for a web cast and Remote Participation Service.[1]
The Public Forum for this event lasted for three days and discussed several topics with presentations, such as the .org foundation and the general internet society.
Key developments[edit | edit source]
Many important subjects were discussed and the proposal of a new Public interest registry was one issue that came under much debate.
The reassignment of the .org domain, was in many discussions and was a key area of interest for persons attending the event. ICANN was keen to look for a new opertator for the .org domain and during the course of this meeting, it had been recomended that the Public Interest Registry should be given the role of operator to the .org top level domain.[2]
