NEW: A Preview of the Improved ICANN.org: An Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) Update

From: Göran Marby, President and CEO

 

When I joined ICANN org, many of you told me that it was difficult to find information on our websites. I heard this not only from our community stakeholders, but from ICANN beginners who wanted to participate in our unique multistakeholder model.

 

I knew then that fixing the findability of our public information was something we needed to do. I also knew that it wouldn't be easy, it would require significant resources and time, and we would need to build a scalable solution for our entire ecosystem of sites. During the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, we realize the necessity of and reliance on being able to access and find information easily through digital platforms.
