Media Advisory – ICANN The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and 
Numbers Connects Toronto to Los Angeles for its 51st Global meeting

What:  In under a decade Toronto has become one of the Top 10 Markets in 
the World of Start-ups and Entrepreneurs. It has the country's largest 
cluster of universities and colleges pumping out research. These people 
rely on the Internet to function smoothly and be available and open to 
all. So who runs the Internet?
Recently ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, 
the U.S. based organisation responsible for the global internet’s 
systems of unique identifiers, has moved ahead to establish a new global 
governance entity to oversee the technical functions that keep the 
internet open, stable and secure for an increasing global population of 
internet users.
Join Toronto's highly engaged and active start-up community as it 
interacts with the global community meeting in Los Angeles.
