Hamburg Act as Joint Hosts of ICANN Annual General Meeting in Fall 2020

Dear Sir or Madam,

Important decisions on the core functions of the Internet could be taken
in Germany in 2020: Along with the City of Hamburg, German ccTLD Manager
DENIC eG (.DE) and eco – Association of the Internet Industry will act
as joint hosts of the 69th ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers) meeting from 17 to 22 October 2020. ICANN is a
not-for-profit organization which is responsible for the global
coordination of names and parameters for the functioning and further
development of the Internet. The decision in favour of Hamburg was taken
on 24 June 2018 at the ICANN 62 Policy Forum in Panama.

“After Berlin in 1999, this is the first time in 20 years that we have
brought an ICANN conference to Germany,” says Oliver Süme, Chair of the
Board of eco – Association of the Internet Industry. “With eco, DENIC,
and the City of Hamburg, strong partners from industry and politics have
joined to achieve this goal.”

ICANN coordinates the management of address identifiers on the Internet
For the Internet to work, domain names and IP numbers world-wide need to
be unique. The central task of ICANN, founded in 1998, is to ensure this
in collaboration with the global Internet community. As a result,
Internet users anywhere in the world can, for example, type www.denic.de
into their browser and thus reliably reach the DENIC webpage.

“An open, free, and secure Internet is a strategic priority for DENIC.
The commitment of the German Internet Community has been honored with
the decision to bring the ICANN meeting to Hamburg. This will offer a
good opportunity to put the German and European perspectives to the
table at an even broader level,” says DENIC Board Member Dr. Jörg
Schweiger. DENIC operates Germany‘s top-level domain .DE, which
currently – with close to 16.3m domains under management – is the
second-largest country-targeted namespace on the Internet.

Alongside the country-targeted ones, there are also generic domain
suffixes, including – on offer for several years now – ones with a clear
regional focus. The City of Hamburg actively supported the registration
of the new top-level domain .hamburg, so that, for example, the Hamburg
police website can now be reached at <https://www.polizei.hamburg>.

City of Hamburg welcomes international Internet community ICANN meetings
are held three times a year, at varying locations around the world. The
2020 ICANN Annual General Meeting will run from 17 to 22 October in
Hamburg. The organizers expect around 2,500 to 3,500 attendees to
participate in this conference from academia, the tech community,
politics, industry, and civil society: “Hamburg is smart and innovative,
and is therefore a suitable setting for such an important conference of
the international Internet community,” says Hamburg’s Senator of
Economic Affairs, Frank Horch. The hosting partners had submitted their
application to ICANN in November 2016, under the coordination of the
Hamburg Convention Bureau.
