What is this about? Are you curious about the future of the internet and how it affects country code top-level domains? Look no further! Welcome to the WSIS+20 FAQ for ccTLDs, your comprehensive guide to understanding the significance of the 2025 review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS+20) for ccTLDs. In this FAQ developed by the ccNSO Internet Governance Liaison Committee, we delve into the key questions surrounding the evolving landscape of internet governance and the critical role that ccTLDs play in shaping the digital world, ensuring that you are well-equipped to participate in the global dialogue.
