Update from the Business Constituency Executive Committee:
Welcome to Johannesburg and ICANN 59! This meeting serves as the second annual “policy forum” for the ICANN community and it will be busy. And because the Business Constituency (BC), per usual, remains actively involved in ICANN’s policy-making processes, the BC’s members will be engaged throughout the course of the meeting ensuring that the interests of business users of the domain name system are represented and heard. Of course, the BC intends to continue to be the voice of business users at ICANN throughout the year.
In addition to the important policy discussions taking place at ICANN 59, attendees will also be actively involved in outreach activities throughout the four days of the meeting. Recognizing that the Internet affects business users all over the world, the BC strives to expand outreach to the broader business community. In this regard, BC representatives will be holding an open and public meeting on Thursday, 29 June 2017, to allow attendees to see the BC in action and ask questions of its leadership and members. The BC welcomes all business and commercial users of the Internet to join us then to learn more about what the BC does and how membership in the BC can lead to positive engagement within the broader ICANN community.
The second half of 2017 should be as exciting as the first half and the BC looks forward to interacting with the broader ICANN community in South Africa. The BC’s members take seriously the BC’s role within the ICANN community and look forward to another engaging meeting.

Warm Regards,
The Business Constituency’s Executive Committee
