Plenary Session: ICANN and the Internet Governance Ecosystem

The Internet governance landscape is never static. It is continually evolving, and the ICANN community must evolve with it, ensuring that its multistakeholder model remains an effective and inclusive governance model for an increasingly interconnected and challenging world. ICANN plays a crucial role as part of the global technical community and as part of the wider Internet governance ecosystem supporting the Domain Name System. This session will explore the ability of ICANN to manage its evolution within the Internet governance ecosystem.
