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.

NEW: Chair’s Blog: Key Takeaways from the 2020 Board Self-Evaluation From: Maarten Botterman, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the ICANN Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation every two years <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hR97LyM9p8mammYzozmoAiogDLRseF4VCElAqg_Pj0Qd…> to assess our effectiveness and ability to work together in support of ICANN’s mission <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hR97LyM9p8mammYzozmoAiogDLRseF4VCElAqg_Pj0Qd…>. Through the evaluation, we identify areas of strength, areas where we have made progress, areas that require improvement, and areas of opportunity for us to function better as a team – up to and beyond the sum of our individual qualities. This year’s evaluation also presented an opportunity to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Board’s ability to function in an entirely remote format. The evaluation is managed by an outside consultant. It consists of a written survey, supplemented by optional phone interviews with the consultant, where Board members can elaborate on their responses and provide input on any other issues that they find relevant or important.
