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.
