3. What is ICANN?
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
4. What is ICANN?
• ICANN is a not-for-profit, public-benefit organization formed
in 1998.
• Its staff operates the Internet’s Domain Name System, coordinates
allocation and assignment of the Internet’s unique identifiers, such
as Internet Protocol addresses, accredits generic top-level domain
(gTLD) name registrars, and helps facilitate the voices of volunteers
worldwide who are dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable
and interoperable. ICANN promotes competition in the domain name
space and helps develop Internet policy.
5. How is ICANN organized?
• At the heart of ICANN’s policy-making is what is called a
“multistakeholder model.”
• This decentralized governance model places individuals, industry,
non-commercial interests and government on an equal level. Unlike
more traditional, top-down governance models, where governments
make policy decisions, the multistakeholder approach used by
ICANN allows for community-based consensus-driven policy-
making. The idea is that Internet governance should mimic the
structure of the Internet itself – borderless and open to all.
7. How is ICANN organized?
• Board of Directors
• 3 Supporting Organizations
• 4 Advisory Committees
• Technical Liaison Group
• Nominating Committee
• ICANN Staff
• Ombudsman

13. What is ASO?
• The purpose of the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) is
to review and develop recommendations on Internet Protocol
(IP) address policy and to advise the ICANN Board. Fifteen
volunteers, three from each of the five RIR communities,
serve on the ASO Address Council (AC).
14. What is ASO?
• The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) is an ICANN-
facing body while the Number Resource Organization (NRO)
is a Regional Internet Registry-facing body. The two bodies
are connected but have different responsibilities.
• The purpose of the ASO is to review and develop recommendations
on global Internet number resource policy and to advise the ICANN
Board. The functions of the ASO are carried out by the ASO
Address Council (ASO AC), which consists of the members of the
NRO Number Council (NRO NC). NRO NC members are elected and
appointed by their respective RIR communities.
15. What is NRO?
• The Number Resource Organization (NRO) is a coordinating
body for the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) that
manage the distribution of Internet number resources
including IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers.
Each RIR consists of the Internet community in its region.

• Endorsements
I strongly support Akinori’s nomination to the ICANN board, in consideration of his significant
contributions to internet communities in the Asia Pacific regions over decades of work.
Akinori had contributed to JANOG (Japan Network Operators’ Group) as part of the founding
steering committee during 1997 to 2007. He dedicated substantial effort to make the community
successful from the beginning. His great efforts led the community to an era where hundreds of
engineers attend JANOG meetings. I do believe the current success of JANOG could not have come
about without his contribution.
Akinori also has left a profound impact on APNIC. He served as a member of the Executive Council
for 15+ years. I think his thoughtful and compassionate chairmanship made a community where
people from multiple countries feel comfortable to join.
Considering his wealth of experience among APAC communities, and his rich humanity which
many people love, I’m confident that Akinori would serve ICANN well as a board member.

21. What is At-Large?
• Within ICANN’s multistakeholder model of policy
development, At-Large is the community representing the
best interest of individual Internet users.
• The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is the primary
organizational home within ICANN for individual Internet users. The
role of the ALAC shall be to consider and provide advice on the
activities of ICANN, insofar as they relate to the interests of
individual Internet users.
22. How is At-Large organized?
• The At-Large Community has a bottom-up, tiered structure.
• On the grassroots level, there are more than 165 At-Large
Structures (ALSes). These local organizations of At-Large members
are located throughout the world.
• The goal is ultimately to have at least one ALS in every country.
Typically, an individual Internet user joins At-Large by joining one of
its local ALSes. However, individuals may also participate without
joining an ALS.
