ICANN is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. Through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer -- a name or a number. That address must 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.
In more technical terms, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) helps coordinate the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, which are key technical services critical to the continued operations of the Internet's underlying address book, the Domain Na (...)Main EU files targeted

Communication activities
A fundamental part of ICANN’s Mission is to coordinate policy development related to the Internet’s system of unique identifiers.
We employ open and transparent policy development mechanisms that promote well-informed decisions based on expert advice, and in collaboration with entities most affected by policy development. Learn how you can participate on the ICANN website here: https://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/participate.
There are multiple kinds of policy within the ICANN world: formal policies related to the global internet's system of unique identifiers (DNS), operational policies, and general practices. Learn more about our Mission and Core Values and how policy is developed in the ICANN Bylaws, which can be accessed here: https://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws.
ICANN's various committees, known as Supporting Organisations and Advisory Committees, meet regularly online. ICANN organizes 3 public meetings per year, open to all stakeholders. The meetings rotate across the 5 global regions. The last European region meeting took place in Barcelona in October 2018.
