13.05 – 14.00: One World One Internet? Integration vs. Fragmentation

ICANN stands for "One World, One Internet." The Internet’s progress from a limited academic network in the 1980s into a universal global infrastructure in the 2010s was enabled by the fact that it was open, free and borderless. The Internet’s end-to-end architecture enabled "innovation without permission" and became the driving force for connecting people around the globe regardless of location, government policies, culture and jurisdiction. However as the Internet community grows towards four billion users, will political and cultural differences and corporate strategies lead to a more balkanized or fragmented Internet? Are pressures for “national internets” growing?  The panel will discuss current trends in technology and commerce as well as implications of possible fragmentation, particularly for ICANN’s management of domain names and IP addresses.

14.00 – 15.00: New gTLDs, Competition and Regulation on the Internet: Chinese and Western Perspectives

The creation of many new gTLDs will lead to new forms of competition. In some cases, IDNs will allow registries and registrars in foreign countries to compete with country code domains (ccTLDs). Sometimes ccTLDs use their domain to regulate Internet users, for example by requiring permissions and identification to register. Will foreign competition undermine these efforts? Domain name policies can also be used to build up a national competitor and protect it from foreign competition.  This panel will explore the policy issues from both Chinese and Western perspectives.
