Dear All, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that its annual GDD Industry Summit and ICANN DNS Symposium, which were to be held in Paris, France, in early May 2020, have been cancelled. The decision to cancel these events was made in light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 virus outbreak and, for the GDD Summit, included conversations with the Contracted Parties House. ICANN's primary concern is for the health and safety of its global multistakeholder community and its staff. We are monitoring this situation closely, and will update the community if there are any new developments or changes to planned meetings and activities.
