About ICANN

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.
