The ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) invites proposals for the ccTLD News Session at the ICANN86 Policy Forum, held 8-11 June 2026 in Seville, Spain. This time, MPC considers organising 2 ccTLD News Sessions, thus offering slightly more speaking slots than usual.

This session provides a platform for sharing updates, insights, and discussions on country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Both in-person and virtual participation will be available, with simultaneous interpretation in English, French, and Spanish.

Including, but not limited to:

• Case studies on ccTLD initiatives
• Collaboration & partnerships within the ccTLD community
• Recent updates and developments in ccTLD operations
• Policy & legislative impacts on ccTLDs

Selection & Notifications:

Proposals will be reviewed by the MPC, considering diversity and limited slots.  Applicants will be notified latest by mid-May 2026.  Selected presenters will receive a briefing and be invited to pre-session (21 May) and a rehearsal meeting (28 May).
