What Does ICANN Mean for the End User? POLICY ADDRE SS The Domain Name System allows you to easily navigate the Internet. ICANN monitors for compliance with contracts, including review of complaints. Generic Top-Level Domains provide choice in the domain name space. Policy Development is an inclusive, open and transparent process for the Community to create effective rules for the Internet Country Code Top-Level Domains allow countries to host their own websites L-Root is one of the root servers that helps keeps the DNS stable around the globe Protocol Parameters allow computers to talk to each other Internet Protocol Addresses are the numbers that identify devices Supporting and Growing the Community ensures diverse participants contribute to bottom-up, multistakeholder, consensus-driven policy Root Zone Management keeps the DNS running smoothly IANA functions |9

How Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses are Distributed IANA functions IP Distributes IP address to Regional Internet Registries Internet Service Providers Distributes IP address to ISP providers in your region Distributes IP address by providing connectivity to homes and businesses Regional Internet Registries Homes and Businesses End users connect their personal and professional devices to the Internet | 10

Mission, Values, and Role | 11

ICANN’s Mission The mission of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique identifier systems Specifically, ICANN: 1 3 5 Coordinates the allocation and assignment of names in the root zone of the Domain Name System Facilitates the coordination of the operation and evolution of the DNS root name server system 2 4 Coordinates the development and implementation of policies concerning the registration of second-level domain names in generic top-level domains (g. TLDs) Coordinates the allocation and assignment at the top-most level of Internet Protocol numbers and Autonomous System numbers Collaborates with other bodies as appropriate to provide registries needed for the functioning of the Internet as specified by Internet protocol standards development organizations | 12

ICANN’s Mission In performing its Mission, ICANN will act in a manner that complies with and reflects ICANN’s Commitments and respects ICANN’s Core Values These Commitments and Core Values include: 1 Preserving and enhancing stability, security, resiliency, and openness of the DNS and the Internet 2 Employing open, transparent and bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development processes that are led by the private sector Learn more 3 Operating with efficiency and excellence, in a fiscally responsible and accountable manner www. icann. org | 13

Unique Names and Numbers Anything connected to the Internet – including computers, mobile phones and other devices – has a unique number called its IP address. IP stands for Internet Protocol. This address is like a postal address. It allows messages, videos and other packets of data to be sent from anywhere on the Internet to the device that has been uniquely identified by its IP addresses can be difficult to remember, so instead of numbers, the Internet’s domain name system uses letters, numbers and hyphens, to form a name that is easier to remember. | 14

Multistakeholder Model | 15

The ICANN Multistakeholder Community ICANN follows a bottom-up, multistakeholder model in which individuals, non-commercial stakeholder groups, industry, and governments play important roles in its community -based, consensus-driven, policymaking approach. Learn More https: //www. icann. org/community | 16

The ICANN Multistakeholder Community MAKING POLICY: PROVIDING ADVICE: Three Supporting Organizations (SOs) in the ICANN community are responsible for developing policy recommendations in the areas they represent: IP addresses; generic toplevel domains (g. TLDs); and country code top-level domains (cc. TLDs). Four Advisory Committees (ACs) give advice and make recommendations on ICANN topics. The ACs are made up of representatives from: governments and international treaty organizations; root server operators; Internet security experts; and Internet end users. | 17

What is the Multistakeholder Community? The community is a volunteerbased, open collection of global stakeholders that work together through a bottom-up process to give advice, make policy recommendations, conduct reviews, and propose implementation solutions for common problems within ICANN’s mission and scope. | 18

Who is in the Multistakeholder Community? The community is made up of volunteers from across the world and from many different backgrounds, including: businesses, Internet engineers, technical experts, civil society, governments, end users, and many others. | 19

Why is the Internet Important to my Business? Businesses of any size, in any sector, depend on a global, interoperable Internet Grows Reaches Global GDP 75% 51% Internet Benefits Internet Penetration Today world trade represents about 30% of global GDP, up from 20% in the early days of the Internet Most of the economic value the Internet creates falls outside of the technology sector: companies in more traditional industries capture 75 percent of the benefits By 2019, there will be about 3. 9 billion Internet users, or 51 percent of the world's projected population of 7. 6 billion Expands trade 30% Source: BCG, 2014 business billions Source: Cisco, 2015 Source: Mc.

Specific Topics Auction Proceeds DNSSEC | 30

What are Proceeds? ICANN Operating and Reserve Funds New g. TLD Applicant Evaluation Fees New g. TLD Program Auction Proceeds Contain day-to-day cash and reserves for ICANN operations. Pay for application evaluation costs, historical development costs repayment and “hard to predict” costs, including risks. “Ring-fenced” proceeds from last resort auctions to resolve string contention conducted via ICANNauthorized auction provider. Unspent application fees fully segregated in dedicated bank and investment accounts. Proceeds (net of direct auctions costs) fully segregated in separate bank and investment accounts. Tied to ICANN budget and planning processes. | 31

What is DNSSEC? DNSSEC = “DNS Security Extensions” DNSSEC is a protocol that is currently being deployed to secure the Domain Name System (DNS) DNSSEC adds security to the DNS by incorporating public key cryptography into the DNS hierarchy, resulting in a single, open, global Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for domain names Result of over a decade of community based, open standards development | 32
