DESCRIPTION
This is a presentation containing slides which I borrowed from several other presentations, and which I found very useful in explaining how ISOC and ICANN work. I gave this talk at IGF Ukraine in Kiev, on 4 September 2010, speaking on my own behalf, and making sure it is understood that ICANN and ISOC are two organisations I am a member of, in the same way someone is a member of a tennis club and a football club.
