At the DLD Conference <http://www.dld-conference.com/DLDnyc17> in NYC last week *Elliot Noss*, President and CEO of Tucows, addressed the assembled throng of developers, designers and entrepreneurs. He bade them, if they wanted to see some true innovation, to take a closer look at ICANN, He noted that ICANN's global organic governance model - one that transcends nations, borders, and governments - is unprecedented in the annals of human history, and suggested it should be recognized, cherished, and supported. In reality there are those of us deeply embedded in the processes who kind of take it for granted, and others to whom, if they have heard of it at all, it is an enigma. Hopefully today's event will be contribute, in a small way, to bridging that gap, while bringing its activities into perspective. joly posted: "Today, Thursday May 18 2017 the Internet Society New York Chapter will host a lunchtime session - Global Internet Governance – Successes and Challenges for ICANN and beyond.
