The suggestion for such a webpage came from the WHOIS Policy Review Team and was accepted by the Board for implementation on 8 November 2012. This single source documents the [...]

Undeterred by the decade’s long debate, and encouraged by the WHOIS Review Team’s Report, he challenged the notion that WHOIS couldn’t be fixed, and instead suggested a fresh [...]

ICANN 现正在准备北美注册管理机构注册服务商会议的演示文档和会议记录，此次会议已于 2012 年 5 月 17-18 日在洛杉矶举行。尽管该会议是专门针对 ICANN 委任的区域性注册服务商和 gTLD 注册管理机构的，但是仍有许多观察员参加了会议。现场出席会议的人数约有 80 位，此外还有大约 30 位远程参会者。 这些区域性会议使 ICANN 工作人员、来自 gTLD 注册管理机构和 ICANN 委任注册服务商的代表有机会进行非正式会面，讨论对本行业及业务关系至关重要的议题。这些会议定期在全球不同地方举行。例如，此前曾分别在东京、慕尼黑、多伦多和罗马举行。这些会议是交流想法、了解信息和相互联络的绝佳机会。 区域性会议模式于 2006 年作为 ICANN 及其合同签约方的教育机会而引入，双方可借此机会分享与注册管理机构和注册服务商在域名行业内运营有关的信息。这些会议主要关注注册服务提供商根据其与 ICANN 签订的合同或彼此之间签订的合同而有义务履行和强制执行的政策与程序。 这些区域性会议与 ICANN 定期国际会议之间的区别之一在于，这些会议的目的不在于影响政策制定。如果您对政策制定和更广泛地与 ICANN 利益主体互动感兴趣，请参加我们即将于今年六月举行的 ICANN 布拉格会议。 2012 年 5 月 17 日会议议程 星期四日程 [PDF, 1.09 MB] 2012 年 5 月 17 日会议演示文档 会议 演示文档 [...]
