Dear SSAC Members,

Barry and I dug a bit more into OCTO’s initiative to host sessions at ICANN meetings on Emerging Identifier Technology.

There have been four of these sessions so far.

ICANN 58 (Copenhagen)

ICANN 60 (Abu Dhabi)

<https://icann60abudhabi2017.sched.com/event/CbFe/emerging-identifiers-technology>

ICANN 64 (Kobe)

<https://64.schedule.icann.org/meetings/voFNz6xkF2AotyWBh>

ICANN 66 (Montreal)

<https://66.schedule.icann.org/meetings/NgGWYgp7jtE7Q2s8S>

I reached out to Adiel Akplogan who organizes these and he said OCTO will be doing this again at ICANN 75 in Kuala Lumpur. OCTO is planning on regularly hosting a sesion at ICANN meetings once a year on this topic. I don’t have any information on the session for ICANN 75 yet.
