ICANN Singapore Outcomes
- From RSS
The conference in Singapore has come to an end. Undoubtedly, it will go down in history because on June 20, ICANN approved the program of new top-level domains. Soon we will see the names of sites that will end with almost any word in any language. “ICANN's achievements in Singapore will go down in history. After years of research, discussion and debate with many communities - including businesses, cultural organizations and governments - we have opened the door to an era of creative innovation that has not happened since the founding of the Internet, ”said ICANN President Rod Beckstrom.
