===Developments===

* It had previously been decided that supporting organizations with expertise in [[Domain Name|domain names]] would be needed, and that ICANN should create ~~its own~~ group rather than rely on existing ~~techincal~~ and professional organizations to report to its [[ICANN Board|board]]. Thus, ~~at ICANN 1 in Singapore~~ seven constituencies of Internet stakeholders were self-organized through the adoption of the Statement of Domain Name Supporting Organization Formation Concepts resolution. Later that year the [[DNSO]] would be officially recognized as the larger umbrella for ~~all of~~ these [[Supporting Organizations]].<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/report/2000/second-status-report-department-commerce-icann NTIA.doc.gov]</ref>

* At the time of the first ICANN meeting, the DNS had a completely different makeup:

** There were 171 million total Internet users, compared to 2 billion in 2011.

** 56% of those Internet users were from the United States or Canada. 15% from the Asia Pacific. Today, fewer than 14% of Internet users come from North America, 44% are from Asia.
