The following note is from Lynn Lipinski, Publications Manager at ICANN: ICANN now has a new SlideShare page where our standard presentations are available for download and use by interested community members. We hoping to also utilize this site as a place for community members to share their slides and graphics regarding ICANN.

(Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-is-icann-chinese http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-is-icann http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-is-icann-french http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-isicann-russian http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-is-icann-spanish To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. Why is ICANN important? What is its mission? ICANN and the Internet Ecosystem (Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-internet-ecosystem-chines... http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-and-the-internet-ecos http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-and-the-internet-ecosyste... http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-and-the-internet-ecosyste... http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-and-the-internet-ecosyste... The Internet Ecosystem is a network of organizations and communities, one that helps the Internet work and evolve. The Internet is successful and thriving because of shared values. The model relies on processes and products that are local, bottom-up, and accessible to users around the world. What are these shared values? How does the model continue to function? ICANN's New generic Top-Level Domain Program (English) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-new-g-tld-program This presentation gives an overview of domain names, presenting ICANN's New generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) Program timeline and its history. Why is ICANN opening up the top-level of the Internet’s namespace? What are the potential impacts for businesses, governments, Internet communities and end users? What is WHOIS? (English) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/icann-what-is-whois WHOIS is an Internet Protocol that is used to query databases to obtain information about the registration of a domain name or IP address. The original purpose of WHOIS data and the WHOIS query protocol and web services created to deliver public access to that data was largely technical. What does it do for us today? What are the benefits of WHOIS? What is the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee? (English) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/what-is-the-icann-governmental-... The ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) is the designated channel for governments to participate in ICANN’s multistakeholder model. How does it make decisions? How does its decisions affect public policy? INFO-GRAPHICS Who Runs the Internet? (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish) http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet-arabic http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet-chinese http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet-french http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet-russian http://www.slideshare.net/icannpresentations/who-runs-the-internet-spanish The Internet itself is a globally distributed computer network comprised of many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. Similarly, its governance is conducted by a decentralized and international multistakeholder network of interconnected autonomous groups drawing from civil society, the private sector, governments, the academic and research communities, and national and international organizations. They work cooperatively from their respective roles to create shared policies and standards that maintain the Internet’s global interoperability for the public good. _______________________________________________ Outreach mailing list Outreach@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/outreach
