ICANN undertakes different partnership and information sharing activities to all stakeholders; including governments. This proposal seeks to complement those activities with a regional session, the purpose of which is to provide a greater understanding of what ICANN is. This session aims to provide information and participation opportunities to all stakeholders, in particular governments, with a special focus on developing countries in Latin America.

Objectives:

  1. Bring greater understanding to stakeholders in Latin America of what ICANN is responsible for and how to participate in the GAC;
  2. Through greater participation, awareness and capacity building, better response to specific issues of regional interest;
  3. Identify means for addressing improved participation in ICANN from developing countries.
