ICANN Concludes Busy 28th Public Meeting in Lisbon, PortugalApril 2, 2007; 12:33 AM More than 830 people from 81 countries gathered in Lisbon, Portugal for ICANN's 28th Public Meeting. "We've just finished one of ICANN's busiest and issue-intensive meetings and it helped ICANN make substantial progress on numerous fronts," said Dr Vint Cerf, Chairman of ICANN. Considerations included:
"ICANN is working hard to improve in the area of openness and transparency," said Dr Paul Twomey, President and CEO of ICANN. "Public participation was a key aim at this meeting. If you couldn't be physically present you could participate through webcasting, chatrooms, and the ability to ask questions to speakers with our public participation website. Even the board discussion was made available for the whole world to watch live." These meetings, one of three held each year, are open to anyone interested in participating. They constitute an essential part of ICANN's efforts to consult the global community. "I want to thank our Portuguese hosts for their extraordinary efforts to make members of the Internet community across the globe feel welcome, and for ensuring every aspect of the meeting ran smoothly," Dr Twomey added." Portugal was one of the founding members of the Governmental Advisory Committee and will continue to be at the forefront of Internet issues when it assumes the Presidency of the European Union during the second half of this year." Full text of the Board resolutions from the Lisbon meeting will be available on the ICANN public participation website: http://public.icann.org/ The 29th ICANN Public Meeting will held 25-29 June, 2007, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
