Background
In 2014, ICANN hosted a workshop in Cotonou, Benin. This first workshop aimed at increasing the understanding of how trademarks and IPR affect the DNS industry. Participants learned about how the DNS works, and DNS industry representatives learned how to better manage IPR issues collaboratively as multistakeholders.
The outcome was encouraging – participants called for ICANN to host future workshops. This follow-on workshop will cover emerging topics of interest related to the DNS business in Africa.
