<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default">It's an extraordinary thing. Three times a year 1000s of people fly to some remote destination to get together, in the first non-multilateral global governance process in history, to argue about how the Internet runs, specifically addressing and routing, and the role of names in that. What might at first seem a purely technical matter is fraught with commercial. social, legal, and other concerns. What is even more extraordinary is that, when it comes to the NYC tech community, despite their almost absolute dependence on these systems, there is a preponderance of ignorance on the most elemental aspects of this policy process - one that could have dramatic effects on their efforts & businesses. At ISOC-NY we do our best to rectify that! </div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><br><u></u><div class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscription-body-tag"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#DDDDDD" style="width:766px;background:rgb(221,221,221)"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-body" style="width:746px;padding:10px"><tbody><tr><td><div style="direction:ltr;max-width:600px;margin:0px auto;overflow:hidden"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-wrapper" style="width:600px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);max-width:1024px;min-width:320px;margin:0px auto"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="8" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-header-wrap" style="width:600px;background-image:url("https://s0.wp.com/i/emails/stripes.gif");background-repeat:repeat-x;background-color:rgb(67,164,208);height:8px"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-header" style="width:600px;color:rgb(0,136,204);font-size:1.6em;background-color:rgb(239,239,239);border-bottom:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);margin:0px;padding:0px"><tbody><tr><td><h2 class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-title" style="line-height:1;font-weight:400;color:rgb(70,70,70);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;padding:0px;font-size:16px;margin:5px 20px">New post on <strong>ISOC-NY NOTICE BOARD</strong></h2></td><td style="text-align:right"><img border="0" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087head-avatar" src="http://isoc-ny.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/cropped-512.png?w=32" alt="" width="32" height="32" style="margin: 5px 20px 5px 0px; vertical-align: middle;"></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="width:600px"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:560px"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087the-post"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:560px"><tbody><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top;width:60px"></td><td><h2 class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087post-title" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);margin:0px;font-size:20px"><a href="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(37,133,178);text-decoration-line:none">REGISTER NOW!

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. <a href="http://icann.org/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)">http://icann.org</a></p></div><p class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-action-links" style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.4em;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(102,102,102);padding:1em 0px 0em;width:auto"></p><table class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087auto-width" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:auto"><tbody><tr><td style="width:10px"><a href="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285#respond" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(255,255,255);border-radius:10em;border:1px solid rgb(17,114,158);text-decoration-line:none;background-color:rgb(37,133,178);padding:5px 15px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.4em;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin-left:0px;white-space:nowrap">Comment</a></td><td> <a class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-action-link" href="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285#comments" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)">See all comments</a></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" bgcolor="#efefef" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-wrapper-sub" style="width:600px;background-color:rgb(239,239,239);border-top:1px solid rgb(221,221,221)"><tbody><tr><td class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-content" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;border-top:1px solid rgb(243,243,243);color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:14px;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><p style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:12px;line-height:1.4em;margin:0px 0px 10px"><br></p><p style="direction:ltr;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:12px;line-height:1.4em;margin:0px"><strong></strong></p><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;display:inline"><strong>Permalink</strong></div><br><a href="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)">http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285</a><p></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="3" class="gmail-m_6204647325214084087subscribe-footer-wrap" style="width:600px;background-image:url("https://s0.wp.com/i/emails/stripes.gif");background-repeat:repeat-x;background-color:rgb(67,164,208);height:3px"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br></td></tr></tbody></table><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?blog=10787942&post=9285&subd=isoc-ny.org&ref=&email=1&email_o=jetpack&host=jetpack.wordpress.com" width="1" height="1"></div></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">---------------------------------------------------------------<br>Joly MacFie <span title="Call with Google Voice"><span id="gmail-gc-number-0" class="gmail-gc-cs-link" title="Call with Google Voice">218 565 9365</span></span> Skype:punkcast<br>--------------------------------------------------------------<br>-</div></div></div>
