The
Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) have opened the center known as the Internet and
Domain Name System (DNS) Engagement
Center in Seoul, reports ITRealms.
This
initiative, ITRealms gathered, elevated KISA and ICANN's partnership,
established in November 2013 with the signing of the KISA-ICANN Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU).
“Per
the objectives of the MOU, the Center will provide an avenue to foster dialogue
and mutual understanding between KISA, ICANN as well as the wider Korean and
regional Internet community. The Center will facilitate ICANN's engagement with
Korean and regional stakeholders; and carry out cooperation programs in
collaboration with ICANN and other Internet Governance Organizations, such as
the Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy (APIGA),” ITRealms was told.
This
initiative, located at 11F Platinum Tower, ICANN said will enhance KISA's
involvement to engage the wider Internet community as it commits its staff and
resources to the Center.
The
Center's staff will remain as KISA's employees and report directly to KISA.
They are in charge of the Center's activities, working directly with the ICANN
APAC regional office, and any other partners.
