A recap of the ICANN73 virtual annual general meeting
Speakers
Following the virtual ICANN73 Community Forum, we reviewed key takeaways from this year’s kick off meeting. Updates included next steps toward a system for standardized access/disclosure (SSAD) of domain registration data (WHOIS), the future of domain transfers and ownership updates and progress toward kicking off a new gTLD round.
We provide updates on developing IP rights protection mechanisms (soon including the UDRP) and escalating tensions around increasing DNS abuse.
Topics covered include:
- Blockchain-based decentralized domain names
- Evolving DNS abuse developments
- Application procedures and timing for the next round of new gTLDs
