Ombudsman in Beijing

5 April 2013
By Chris LaHatte

The ICANN life seems to revolve around our meetings. In Toronto, our Communications team recorded a short video of me attending meetings and talking to our community. As we prepare for Beijing, I am excited to visit a country where some of the oldest civilizations are now overlaid with the largest Internet community in the world, and a community who I am anxious to meet. I want to share the concept of the ombudsman with our new friends and colleagues in China, and I hope the video will introduce my work to you. The symbol of my office as a commitment to fair and open governance is a most important part of the multi-stakeholder environment of ICANN, and a place where your concerns can be heard in a confidential manner.
