Glossary entry for `GAC`

Acronym: Governmental Advisory Committee

The GAC plays a key role within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), particularly with regard to public policy issues, as the Internet continues to expand and command greater influence within all our societies.
The GAC has grown and evolved considerably since its inception in 1999 and its relationship with ICANN and the wider Internet community reflects both the principles and the international multi-stakeholder model successfully applied also during the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
