As part of its campaign to raise global awareness among business representatives, government organizations, Internet users, and media representatives about the opportunities and challenges of new gTLDs, ICANN held a meeting in Moscow. The event, organized by the Coordination Center for .RU/.РФ, allowed Russian market participants interested in registering new gTLDs to have direct contact for discussion with ICANN President and CEO Rod Beckstrom, ICANN Board Chairman George Sadowsky, ICANN Chief of Staff Christopher Mondini, and ICANN regional representative for the region Veni Markovski. “ICANN’s visit to Moscow is an important sign that it recognizes Russia’s significance in the global discussion on how to improve the ICANN model,” said Veni Markovski.
