Schedule Posted for ICANNâ??s 30th International Public Meeting

Participants have six weeks to plan their ICANN meeting participation and input

14 September 2007

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: ICANN today released the schedule for its upcoming 30th 
International Public Meeting slated for 29 October to 2 November in Los Angeles.

â??We wanted to get the schedule out well in advance of the meeting so the more 
than 1,000 people expected to attend can start planning their participation and 
be aware of the issues on the table,â?? said Paul Levins, Executive Office and 
Vice President, Corporate Affairs with ICANN. â??The Los Angeles meeting is 
historic for ICANN â?? it is our 30th, it marks the end of Vint Cerfâ??s term 
as chair, will welcome ICANNâ??s new chair, and of course there will be 
discussions of major issues, including new generic top-level domains and 
internationalized domain names.â??

â??On Tuesday night ICANN will host the meetingâ??s tribute to Vint Cerf to 
thank him for eight years of volunteer service on the board, seven of those as 
chair,â?? Levins added.

The meeting, which also serves as ICANNâ??s 2007 annual general meeting, takes 
place at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport.

â??If you care about the Internet, if you care that it works for you every day, 
then the ICANN meeting is a great place to get involved,â?? Levins added. â??We 
encourage the business and technical communities as well as individuals to come 
along. Best of all, registration is free.â??
