ICANN Policy Issue Briefs Now Available in Arabic, Chinese, and Russian

MARINA DEL REY, CA - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced in a press release the availability of Arabic, Chinese, and Russian versions of ICANN Policy Issue Briefs in furtherance of ICANN's internationalization efforts.

ICANN recently developed ICANN Policy Issue Briefs to introduce the broader Internet community to issues currently being addressed by ICANN's bottom-up, consensus-based policy development structure.

While the briefs are designed to accommodate newcomers to ICANN, they also are meant to serve ICANN veterans as basic introductions to potentially unfamiliar issues.

ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers reach each other over the Internet.
