    Dear Michele,<br>
    <br>
    the report is a follow-up to all of these data metrics, with most
    being picked from the ongoing data collection that ICANN is
    performing. The project is meant to sustain the analysis in the long
    run.<br>
    More information about the process can be found on

          working on this for over a year and some of the "missing"

              <h3>About ICANN<o:p></o:p></h3>
              <p>ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and
                unified global Internet. To reach another person on the
                Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a
                number – into your computer or other device. That
                address must be unique so computers know where to find
                each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these
                unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in
                1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with
                a community of participants from all over the world.<o:p></o:p></p>
