PARIS - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced in a press release that the French Minister of State Eric Besson will attend the opening ceremony of ICANN’s 32nd international public meeting in Paris on June 23, 2008.

The Minister is responsible for forward planning, assessment of public policies and development of the digital economy and will join ICANN’s Chairman in officially opening the meeting Le Meriden Montparnasse.

“We are honored and delighted that the Minister is able to make time in his busy schedule to attend,” President and CEO of ICANN Paul Twomey said.

“This is an exciting and interesting meeting, with highlights including discussions on new generic top level domain names and IDNs. There will also be a special business access agenda on the first two days of the meeting,” he added.

ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers reach each other over the Internet.
