Mission

The mission of the Business Constituency is to ensure that:

  • the Constituency fully represents the views of the Internet business user community,
  • ICANN policy positions are consistent with the development of business via an Internet that is stable, secure and reliable while promoting consumer confidence,
  • ICANN policy positions derive from broad stakeholder participation in a common forum for suppliers and users.

Members of the Business Constituency use the Internet to conduct business.

The Business Constituency is a constituency representing customers of providers of connectivity, domain names, IP addresses, protocols and other services related to electronic commerce in its broad sense.

BC members contribute as:

  • participants on the BC e-mail list to learn about and debate issues
  • participants on telephone conferences to reach consensus on key issues
  • participants at physical meetings coincident with ICANN global meetings
  • issue managers on specific topics
  • bridges for information flow between other GNSO constituencies
