The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) organization is seeking comments on an updated version of the ICANN Community Participant Code of Conduct Concerning Statements of Interest ("Code").

In response to inputs received during the prior Public Comment and the ICANN82 community dialogue on the enforcement of the Code, ICANN updated the document, including the introduction of a new section on examples offered to support community training, compliance, and enforcement of the Code. The update to the Code also makes it clearer when disclosures are required.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
