The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is an international organization that coordinates domain names, IP addresses, and other technical functions for the Internet. ICANN will be making important decisions affecting the Internet, such as creating new domains (like ".store" and ".personal"), settling trademark disputes over domain names, and setting technical parameters for the Domain Name System.
ICANN has a board of directors, three Supporting Organizations, several advisory committees, and an At-Large membership. Individuals can participate in ICANN and vote for its board of directors by joining the At-Large membership.
Anyone with an email account and postal address over the age of 16 can become a member.
ICANN will hold its first global "At-Large" election, for five new directors, starting this summer. Voter registration will likely end sometime in late July, so it's important to sign up now if you want to be part of the voting membership.
