Interview with ICANN’s CEO & President, Rod Beckstrom, and Chairman of the Board, Peter Dengate Thrush, following the close of ICANN 39 in Cartagena, Colombia.
ICANN 39 has concluded with strong commitment from the ICANN Board to the multi-stakeholder model.
Throughout the Cartagena meeting, supporting organizations and advisory committees raised their voices to affect Internet governance. Several controversial aspects of new gTLDs were addressed, including trademark protection, mitigating malicious conduct, root zone scaling, and economic analysis. However, the Board meeting on Friday, 9 December 2010, clarified that the Board had listened and in the spirit of the consensus driven, multi-stakeholder model passed resolutions that granted Internet stakeholders more time to work through remaining issues on several topics.
