Registration for ICANN74 Policy Forum in The Hague, Netherlands is Now Open 31 March 2022 ________________________________ Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that the dedicated website<https://74.schedule.icann.org/> for the ICANN74 Policy Forum in The Hague, Netherlands is now live and registration<https://events.icann.org/icann74/registration> for the meeting is now open. ICANN74 will be held from 13-16 June 2022 and will take place as a hybrid event to accommodate both in-person and virtual participation. ICANN is committed to ensuring an inclusive Policy Forum that provides equal opportunities for all to engage on important policy matters. The meeting is also expected to have a reduced program to best serve both in-person and remote participants. While the ICANN74 Policy Forum presents the first opportunity for the community to come together in more than two years, the health and safety of all community members and staff continues to be ICANN's key priority. Therefore, ICANN is not only closely monitoring relevant national and international public health guidance from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Dutch Government, and the European Union. ICANN is also in close cooperation with local authorities and entities such as the meeting venue (World Forum The Hague), The Hague Convention Bureau, and partner hotels that support the meeting. ICANN strives to make ICANN74 as safe as possible for in-person participants. Consequently, ICANN will require that those attending in person follow higher health and safety standards than may be demanded by local rules and regulations.
