About the Technology Taskforce (TTF) 

The At-Large Technology Taskforce (TTF) evaluates and reviews Information and Communication Technologies that can help the ICANN At-Large Community (including the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)) better able to accomplish their role in ICANN activities.

Anyone interested in Information and Communication Technology and how they can be applied to solve the needs of ICANN At-Large and other ICANN communities are welcome to attend by emailing ICANN At-Large Staff at staff@atlarge.icann.org 

The TTF was eastablished as part of the recommendations coming from the

Technology Taskforce Workspace
