ICANN Elects Dr. M. Stuart Lynn as New President & CEO

January 23, 2001 (Marina del Rey, California, USA) - The Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced today that
the Board of Directors has elected Dr. M. Stuart Lynn to succeed Michael
Roberts as President and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Lynn will take
office at the conclusion of the Board's next meeting in Melbourne,
Australia, March 10-13, 2001. Mike Roberts, ICANN's current President
and CEO, has held the position since October 1998 and has overseen the
start-up of the organization.

Dr. Lynn has had a distinguished career in computing and information
technology that dates back almost four decades. His most recent position
until his retirement in 1999 was as Associate Vice President for
Information Resources and Communications for the University of
California Office of the President where he served as chief information
officer for the combined University of California system. Dr. Lynn also
served as President and Chairman of the Board of the Corporation for
Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC).

"We are incredibly fortunate to have found someone with Stuart Lynn's
extensive and varied technical and managerial background to succeed Mike
Roberts," said Vint Cerf, Chairman of the ICANN Board of Directors. "Dr.
Lynn will bring the energy, experience and skills needed to forge
consensus from the diversity of Internet constituencies that have
interest in ICANN and its work. I look forward to working with Stuart,
the Board and the ICANN staff during the coming year." Cerf also served
as the chairman of the Executive Search Committee.

The election of Dr. Lynn concludes a global executive search process
that began in November 1999 and included consideration of more than 300
members of the global Internet community. That input resulted in an
impressive slate of qualified candidates from each of ICANN's five
global regions.

"I am honored to have been chosen for such a unique and challenging
position and look forward to working with all of the members of the
Internet community around the world to achieve ICANN's technical
mission," said Dr. Lynn.

Dr. Lynn has also held positions at Cornell University, UC Berkeley,
Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, IBM and Chevron. Over the
course of his career he has been active in several professional
organizations including the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
and the American Federation of Information Processing Societies. In
1994, he was elected a Fellow of the ACM. In addition, he has served on
numerous boards of directors, advisory committees and as a consultant to
academia, government and industry.

Dr. Lynn holds a M.A. and Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of
California at Los Angeles and a B.A. and M.A. in Mathematics from Oxford
University. A British citizen by birth, Dr. Lynn is now a citizen of the
United States and resides in Palm Springs, California with his family.

INTERNET RESEARCH 2.0: INTERconnections

The Second International Conference of the Association of Internet
Researchers
OCTOBER 10-14, 2001
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis-St.Paul Minnesota, USA
Deadline for submissions: Friday, March 2, 2001

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Phil Agre, Associate Professor of Information Studies, University of
California, Los Angeles, USA

Anita Allen-Castellito, Professor of Law and Philosophy, University
of Pennsylvania, USA

 Lisa Nakamura, Assistant Professor of English, Sonoma State University, USA

 Sheizaf Rafaeli, Head of the Center for the Study of the Information
 Society and Professor  of Business Administration, University of
 Haifa, Israel



 The Internet's ever-increasing points of connection to almost every
 element of 21st century life have prompted strong interest in
 understanding the social aspects of cyberspace. The popular press
 offers wave after wave of speculation and vague forecasts, but what
 is really needed to help us understand how to live in our wired world
 is research: research that is collaborative, international, and
 interdisciplinary.

 In September 2000, over 300 people attended the first international
 Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) at the
 University of Kansas. This Conference built connections among
 Internet researchers from across a range disciplines and from around
 the globe. In October of 2001, INTERNET RESEARCH 2.0 will offer an
 opportunity to reinforce and extend these connections. IR 2.0 will
 bring together prominent scholars, researchers, practitioners, and
 students from many disciplines and fields for a program of keynote
 addresses, paper presentations, formal discussions, and informal
 exchanges.

 IR 2.0 will be held on the campus of the University of Minnesota, one
 of the world's most technologically innovative campuses. The
 conference will provide opportunities to network, learn from other
 researchers, hear from leading players in Internet development, and
 take in the sights and sounds of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and
 St. Paul.

 The Association of Internet Researchers invites paper, presentation,
 and panel proposals on topics that address social, cultural,
 political, economic, and aesthetic aspects of the Internet. We
 welcome submissions from any discipline, as well as work from those
 producing new media or working in multimedia studies. Panel
 presentations which establish connections across disciplines,
 institutions and/or continents are especially encouraged. We also
 seek presentations which will make creative use of Internet
 technologies and techniques, including (but not limited to) digital
 art and e-poster sessions.

 We suggest the following as possible themes for proposals.

 *  communication-based Internet studies
*  digital art
*  distance education and pedagogy
*  e-commerce and business
*  gender, sexualities, and the Internet
*  human-computer interaction (HCI)
*  international perspectives on the Internet
*  Internet technologies
*  law and the Internet, including privacy and copyright issues
*  methodological issues in Internet studies
*  new media and Internet journalism
*  psychology and the Internet
*  the "Digital Divide"
*  race and cyberspace
*  rhetoric and technology

This list is not meant to be exclusive, but rather to trigger ideas
 and encourage submissions from a range of disciplines. When we are
 able to identify scholars from a range of disciplines pursuing shared
 themes, we will work to bring these scholars together for panel
 sessions.

 When preparing proposals, please consider the convention's conventions:

 *  Most conference sessions will be 90 minutes, with no less than the
 final thirty minutes reserved for discussion.

 *  The average time allotted for a paper or presentation will be 15
minutes.

 If these time constraints are not appropriate for your
 panel/presentation, please highlight this in your proposal. Also,
 please include any unusual equipment needs or special considerations
 that might affect your presentation.

 Individual paper and presentation proposals should be no more than
 250 words. Panels will generally include three or four papers or
 presentations. For panel proposals, the session organizer should
 submit a 150-250 word statement describing the panel topic, including
 abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper or presentation in the
 panel.

 Graduate students are highly encouraged to submit proposals. They
 should note their student status with their submissions, and, if they
 wish, submit completed papers by the March 2 deadline so their work
 can be considered for a special Student Award. The winner of the
 Student Award will have conference fees waived. Conference organizers
 are working to ensure that IR 2.0 is affordable for graduate
 students, and indeed, for all attendees. Details of anticipated costs
 will be posted to the conference website (http://www.cddc.vt.edu/aoir
 ) in the coming weeks.

 We also invite proposals for pre-Conference workshops. These
 proposals should be submitted as soon as possible (no later than
 January 31, 2001) so that the workshops can be publicized.

 All proposals should be submitted electronically at
 http://www2.cddc.vt.edu/confman/

 It is preferred that you use HTML to minimally format your submission.

 The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is Friday,
 March 2, 2001.

 Program Chair: Leslie Shade, University of Ottawa, 

Conference Coordinator: John Logie, University of Minnesota, 

A(O)IR President: Steve Jones,
