To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. Here's why people love working at ICANN:

1. Having the opportunity to shape the way the world uses the Internet for the next 50 years.
2. Working with some of the brightest minds in the Internet industry worldwide.
3. World class benefits and compensation.
