Members of ICC’s Commission on E-Business, IT and Telecoms (EBITT) and its task force on Internet and Telecoms Infrastructure and Services (ITIS) are pleased to provide these informal comments as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) continues to evolve its structures, and evaluate its transparency and accountability.
These informal comments seek to provide the priorities of businesses from around the world and from all sectors and geographies as ICANN reviews its structures and processes, with an aim to increase business participation in key ICANN supporting organizations and discussions. ICC’s EBITT Commission is composed of hundreds of companies and business associations from all sectors including, business users, service providers, hardware and software developers, communications operators, mobile operators, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). With national committees and groups in 130 countries, ICC’s members span the globe and are involved in all of ICANN’s business related constituencies.
ICC supports the continued development of ICANN, and considers its functions with respect to the Domain Name System (DNS) to be critical to business and users. ICC applauds the outreach efforts ICANN has made to ICC and business worldwide.
