ICANN Says 'Hello, New Delhi'
New Delhi will host a February meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the group announced Tuesday. The body, which administers the Web-addressing system, will first converge later this month in Los Angeles (and yours truly will be on the scene).
"Growth of Internet activity in India is extraordinary so it's fitting that the ICANN community is gathering there to discuss major Internet issues like internationalized domain names and new generic top-level domains," said ICANN Vice President Paul Levins.
ICANN received four bids to host the ICANN meeting slated for the Asia-Pacific region and picked the proposal put forward by India's Department of Information Technology and the National Internet Exchange of India. Australia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates were also contenders.
