The COVID Registration Spike and Abuse: Lessons Learned from a Contracted Party perspective Webinar - 11 June 2020
Session Description:
Since the outset of the Corona virus pandemic, there has been a sharp increase in domain names related to the virus. There is an understandable concern by many in the ICANN community that these domains were/are seeking to exploit the situation and use these registrations to propagate systemic abuse. With several months of learning under our collective belt, this webinar seeks to take a look at the data related to these registrations (presented by ICANN Org), discuss concerns around the registrations from law enforcement (PSWG), and examine abuse levels and responses to that abuse from registries and registrars (CPH).

Innovations in Top Level Domains - 25 October 2018 - ICANN 63 Barcelona
Session Description:
There are three goals for this high interest topic session:
- Demonstrate that innovation is occurring through TLDs and garner community support that the DNS can benefit from new or existing TLDs that provide new products and choices
- Uncover barriers to innovation so that innovation can be encouraged through new contractual provisions or procedures. This might be particularly valuable for the next round of new TLDs where encouragement of innovation might be one of the policy goals of the program
- Garner some notoriety and support for new products and encourage cross-community
discussions and education that might improve on the quality or uptake of current innovations
