>>

>> organization. In addition to the hub office in Los Angeles, USA, ICANN has
>> hub offices in Istanbul, Turkey, and Singapore, and engagement offices in
>> Beijing, Brussels, Geneva, Montevideo, Seoul and Washington. The
>> organization currently has 325 staff spread across 30 countries.

>> than 1,300 new gTLDs are expected to be delegated in total.
>>
