Comments to ICANN on its Five-Year Operating Plan

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a non-profit organization that brings together various stakeholders to “discuss, debate, and develop policies about the technical coordination of the Internet’s domain name system (DNS).” ICANN has requested public comment on its Draft Five-Year Operating Plan. The Center for Data Innovation has filed comments describing how the ICANN community would benefit greatly from ICANN committing itself to open data and how such a commitment would bring its transparency and openness efforts in line with other leading global organizations.
