CSC/IANA SESSION Wednesday, 16 June 2021 | 14:30-15:30 UTC https://71.schedule.icann.org/meetings/pSMFgAPymfM4wmqGc A CSC/IANA update to the community will be held to inform the ccTLD and gTLD registry operators (and other interested stakeholders) about the latest with respect to the IANA Naming Function and CSC. This would be the first time since ICANN66, that the CSC, and IANA staff would meet with the direct customers of the IANA Naming Function, namely the ccTLD and gTLD registry operators.
