ICANN | ICANN Policy Issue Briefs Now Available in French and Spanish

Today ICANN released French and Spanish versions of ICANN Policy Issue Briefs in furtherance of ICANN's internationalization efforts and to help better inform the community on important areas of Internet policy development.

While the briefs are designed to accommodate newcomers to ICANN, they also are meant to serve ICANN issue veterans as basic introductions to potentially unfamiliar issues. Today's releases include the following:

ICANN recently developed ICANN Policy Issue Briefs to introduce the broader Internet community to issues currently being addressed by ICANN's bottom-up policymaking structure. The translated ICANN Issue Briefs will be available in print at the ICANN meetings, in session this week in Paris, and are also available online at http://www.icann.org/en/policy/briefs/.

The ICANN Policy Development Department plans to offer these briefs to the community on an ongoing basis, and in more languages. Please send your comments, questions or suggestions for new topics to the ICANN policy staff at policy-staff@icann.org.
