Welcome to the Commercial and Business Users Constituency

The Business Constituency (BC) is the voice of commercial Internet users within ICANN – the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN is a global body with responsibility for certain policies that relate to the domain name system (DNS). Domain names are the names consumers and businesses rely upon to find websites for legitimate products and services on the Internet.

Business users rely on a stable and secure Internet and e-commerce experience, one that serves their users and customers on a global basis. Through your participation in ICANN, and in the Business Constituency, your company will make a difference on behalf of business.

During ICANN62 Panama, Claudia Selli (BC Chair) and Steve DelBianco (BC Vice Chair of Policy Coordination) sat down with ICANN Staff to discuss the priorities of the BC within ICANN. Please watch the interview below.
