11:30-13:00 Session 1. Security: domain name vs content SEE
The Security: Domain Name vs Content session will be dedicated to working with domains used for unlawful purposes. Domain management has always been perceived as an exclusively technical task, and websites were blocked only by court decisions or law enforcement agencies. In recent years, however, more people say that those in the domain name industry can no longer stay away from evaluating their content. At the TLDCON’s Security: Domain Name vs Content session, we will discuss how this problem is solved in different countries and how people are combating infringing websites today. The participants, the list of which includes experts from European and CIS states’ registries, international organizations and information security experts, will also discuss modern methods for data analysis and forecasting that allow predicting what the domain will be used for even before it is used.

16:30-18:00 Session 3. Second wind of ccTLDs SEE
The Second Wind of ccTLDs session will be dedicated to the current activities of national registries. National top level domains had been in a privileged position on their countries’ markets for a long time; everything changed a couple of years ago after the launch of a new program on new top level domains. The competition increased sharply, and national registries had to review their roles on the market and the ways they interact with their users. During the session, registry representatives will discuss the actions to be taken to earn back the buyers’ trust, the possibilities of gaining back the privileged position and the role of national domain zones in the era of domain abundance.
