CENTR General Meetings provide the perfect venue for forums and discussions to take place regarding subject matters and policies affecting ccTLD registries.

Although the event is exclusive for CENTR members only, the public can still view its agenda and other related information. Presentations are also published after the event.

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will hold a regional event in Munich, Germany this coming May 12-13, 2011. This two-day event will give the ICANN staff, ICANN-accredited registrars and representatives of gTLD registries a chance to informally meet together and discuss pertinent topics in the industry.

The expected agenda will cover updates or developments on the following subjects:

1. DNSSEC
2. Contractual Compliance
3. GNSO Policy Initiatives
4. DNS Abuse Mitigation Efforts.

A Registrar Training for the 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is also part of the agenda.

Regional ICANN events are different from international meetings. The latter is more structurally formal and it can influence policy development. On the other hand, regional events are held to informally give people from local registrars a place to meet the ICANN staff and as well as interact with gTLD registries and other regional event attendees. Part of the regional event’s goal is to let people from the local registrars understand ICANN more, and have them appreciate the corporation’s policy issues (thereby promoting compliance).

Pre-registration for the event is required as space is limited. Other interested parties who wish to attend the regional event, or who would want to be an ICANN-accredited registrar or gTLD registry should send a mail to ICANN (regionalevents@icann.org) for more details.

For additional information regarding the above event, please visit ICANN’s blog.

May 30,2011 is the marked date for ICANN’s official launching of the Munich Conference for New Top-Level Domain (nTLDs) applications.  New Top-Level Domains are expected to grow. By the year 2012, ICANN predicts 400 new additions to the existing list of generic domain extensions. In the wake of this trend, the domain industry is yet to witness further growth as more than 100 groups have announced their interest in  applying  for new TLD’s.

ICANN has recognised the demands related to this tremendous development. Examples of the demands that will need to be addressed, are the need for more networking opportunities, marketing ideas and long-term business strategies for the nTLDs. The Munich Conference on new TLDs event, will deliver appropriate assistance, new ideas, great opportunities and smart solutions in response to these needs.
