ABOUT ICANN
ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
ABOUT NFJE
The Norwegian Association for Law & IT was founded on 15 August 1980. The association is a multidisciplinary forum where members can exchange views, experiences, information and knowledge about law and information technology in the broadest sense.
