The 32nd International Public ICANN Meeting is in full swing this week in Paris.
ICANN, the non-profit partnership that co-ordinates web addresses and keeps the internet interoperable, is opening its international meeting to the public until Thursday (June 26th).
Topics on the agenda include domain names, IPv4 to IPv6 migration and ICANN's financial objectives.
Yesterday (June 23rd) a participatory workshop was held to discuss the changing industry of generic domain names and its effects on the web.
ICANN state on their website that they have "a strong interest in protecting registrants and clearly describing the domain namespace for registrants" in the face of changes to domain names.
Last night welcome cocktails were served and tomorrow a gala event will be held at Paris city hall, described as "lavish" by ICANN.
The event is being held at Le Meridien Montparnasse, which also hosted the Domainer Meeting last weekend. The meeting produced $361,000 of sales of domain names.
