ICANN Launches a Blog

Posted on January 23, 2007

ICANN has launched a new blog at blog.icann.org. The new blog was announced in ICANN's announcement about its 2005-2006 annual report. ICANN is short for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. They are the organization responsible for managing and coordinating the Domain Name System (DNS.

ICANN is pleased to provide its first annual report in accordance with its commitments established under the Joint Project Agreement signed in September 2006.
As part of ICANN's commitment to greater transparency and accessibility, we have posted this annual report for review and established two means to facilitate public comment. The first is a forum for the community to submit comments and suggestions, which is available at 2006-ar-comments@icann.org. Comments can be viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/2006-ar-comments/.
The second is a new blog on the ICANN website that allows members of the community to exchange their views about the report. The blog can be found at http://blog.icann.org/.
We invite feedback on this inaugural annual report to better inform its development and ensure that it reflects the views and interests of the community.

There are a couple posts on the blog already. The very first post from ICANN was a very brief introduction. It said, "Post comments to the blog and participate in this ongoing discussion with ICANN staff and the Internet community."
