ICANN to host DNS event in Madrid

ICANN is to hold a “DNS Symposium” in Madrid this May.
The event will “explore ICANN’s current initiatives and projects relating to DNS research, operations, threats and countermeasures and technology evolution”, according to ICANN.
It’s a one-day event, focused specifically on DNS, rather than the domain name registration business.
The Symposium immediately follows the GDD Summit, the annual ICANN industry-focused intersessional event designed for registrars, registries and the like.
The Summit runs from May 9 to 11 and the Symposium is on May 13.
Both events will be held at the Hotel NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding in Madrid and will be webcast.
ICANN is currently looking for corporate sponsors for the Symposium.
