New ICANN Chair Encourages Participation

ICANN’s new chairman, Peter Dengate Thrush, has been urging more public participation in ICANN.

Speaking at the Internet Governance Forum in Rio, Mr Dengate Thrush told attendees that “the door is open”.

In common with a lot of big organisations ICANN has been trying in recent months to get more public involvement, with Kieren McCarthy doing stellar work on the communications front.

Further details on how people may get involved or be put in contact with the relevant people may be found on the ICANN site
