Details of November 2001 ICANN Meeting in Marina del Rey, California, USA
ICANN today posted a range of new program details for its upcoming DNS security-focused meeting. The meeting will be 12-15 November, in Marina del Rey, California, USA.
The program is intended to strike a balance between the managerial and the technical aspects of DNS security, and also to stay within the scope of ICANN's responsibilities for the stability and integrity of the domain name and address allocation systems. The schedule features plenary speakers, topic-specific panels, parallel sessions focusing on management and operational/technical considerations, cross-community breakout groups, and constituency meetings. At the end of the program, representatives of ICANN constituent groups will be asked to make reports to the community.
