Why is ICANN important for Internet Users?

Because operational policies are decided within ICANN that will affect all Internet users

Because a true multi-stakeholder system of governance involves Users

Because the strength of the Internet is that it is User-Centric

ICANN Needs to listen to users to be a legitimate multi-stakeholder organization.

ICANN Needs end user feedback and End Users need an open forum to raise issues of a policy nature.
