Dear All, The ccNSO Meetings Programme Working Group (MPC) will organise for the second time a set of Virtual ccTLD News Sessions. There will be 2 options to participate, prior to ICANN69. The MPC seeks presentation proposals from the ccTLD community, focusing preferably on the following 2 topics: 1. Policy updates by ccTLD registries during the COVID-19 pandemic 2. Legislative initiatives that impact ccTLD registries (e.g. the Digital Services Act package<https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/digital-services-act-package> by the European Commission, or other similar initiatives around the globe) Alternatively, the MPC might consider presentation proposals, covering for instance recent developments, ccTLD activities and ccTLD management related topics, both from an operational, marketing or legal point of view. How to apply?
