What is the most important subject for ICANN to address?

I believe the most important issue for ICANN to address is its governance. This is because everything flows from governance, especially its structure, as well as its relationship and obligations to the various stakeholders around the world. Given that the Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between ICANN and the US government, through its Department of Commerce, is coming to an end, it is time to look ahead – as indicated in the ICANN 2008-2011 Strategic Plan. Other important issues are managing the explosive and continued growth of the Internet, and introducing the Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) system. Great effort will be required to manage the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and ensure transparent and equitable access to the IDNs.
