The broad ICANN community should be very proud of how they have worked (and argued!) together to build a new type of international, multi-stakeholder bottom up process for coordinating a key part of of the Internet. 153 official meetings of the Board and 32 international public meetings, and, of course, thousands of individuals participating has contributed to a number of outcomes: - Back in 1998, there was a single registrar, charging $50 a year for domain names; now there are over 900 ICANN-accredited registrars and a domain costs from just $6. - The domain name system has grown from roughly three million domains a decade ago to over 160 million today. This supports an Internet user community which has grown from 100 million to nearly one-and-a-half billion people online. - The Internet's generic top-level domains expanded from eight (especially dotcom, dotnet and dotorg) to 21, including .info, .biz, .cat, .asia, .mobi and .name. - Over 35,000 domains have been challenged through the Uniform Dispute Resolution Process a faster, cheaper and more efficient alternative to the law courts for ownership disputes. Congratulations to everyone! Paul Chuck

I think your analysis is strong. The broad ICANN community should be very proud of how they have worked (and argued!) together to build a new type of international, multi-stakeholder bottom up process for coordinating a key part of of the Internet.

153 official meetings of the Board and 32 international public meetings, and, of course, thousands of individuals participating has contributed to a number of outcomes:

- Back in 1998, there was a single registrar, charging $50 a year for domain names; now there are over 900 ICANN-accredited registrars and a domain costs from just $6.
- The domain name system has grown from roughly three million domains a decade ago to over 160 million today. This supports an Internet user community which has grown from 100 million to nearly one-and-a-half billion people online.
- The Internet’s generic top-level domains expanded from eight (especially dotcom, dotnet and dotorg) to 21, including .info, .biz, .cat, .asia, .mobi and .name.
- Over 35,000 domains have been challenged through the Uniform Dispute Resolution Process a faster, cheaper and more efficient alternative to the law courts for ownership disputes.

Congratulations to everyone!
