Each session will have a separate agenda. Sessions are 120 minutes long, with a break in between, and opportunity to ask questions. All sessions will be recorded. Previous editions of the ccTLD News Sessions had an excellent collection of case studies, statistics, new developments, trends and more. The ccTLD News Sessions have been a part of the ccNSO Members Meetings for several years and has provided a global platform for both experienced and new people to meet, share experiences and discuss ccTLD-related aspects. For reference, the most recent session was held at the start of October 2021, prior to ICANN72. Read more<https://community.icann.org/x/hAEuCg>.
