The many First of a New ICANN: Connect Remotely.

This is the first ICANN AGM under the new meeting structure, the first post IANA transition meeting, and the first one in Hyderabad. So much for all this first that it would come to nothing if the world does not understand the ideal working structure that stakeholderism built to ensure Accountability and Transparency when it comes to the way that the Internet works.

While the Internet of Things (IoT) is building a path for more policy concern to ensure the drop and prevention of cyber-attacks, hacks, privacy infringement, to mention but a few, one is also faced with the concern of how the new ICANN will handle politics within and around.

So much for you and I to do while the meeting kicks off today. ICANN is providing live stream and connectivity for you to participate in all the dialogues. Pick your room and make your point. See details below.
