The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced the launch of its new monthly magazine, which will cover topics ranging from recent policy changes and developments and details of board meetings to world domain news and interviews with prominent internet-related figures.

The first issue features an interview with Paul Twomey, ICANN president and CEO. Janis Karklins, the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee chairperson, is also interviewed. ICANN has also included articles and information about how to participate in ICANN proceedings and decision-making.

Paul Levins, Executive Officer and Vice-President of corporate affairs for ICANN, said, We want people to understand what issues are pending before ICANN, how interested stakeholders can contribute and when decisions will be made. This magazine will help that understanding. This is the latest in series of improvements to accountability and transparency at ICANN. Some of these changes include improved board reporting, a blog, an annual report, an improved website, a public participation site and extensive consultation on our budget and strategic and operating plans.
