ICANN's mission is
to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another
person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into
your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know
where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these
unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a
not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from
all over the world.
