ICANN to Discuss IDNs, Domain Kiting This Week

Juan Carlos Perez writes on InfoWorld:

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will discuss key projects and initiatives at a meeting this week, including the internationalization of the domain name system and a new, lucrative Web site registration practice that some object to.

Other topics on the agenda for ICANN's 27th International meeting, to be held in Sao Paulo, include the group's strategic plan for 2007 to 2009 and next year's operating plan.

Also on the discussion table are a workshop on IPV6 that will address what this new Internet protocol is and why it's needed, as well as a forum on the introduction of TLDs (top level domains).

The meeting, which began Monday and ends Friday, will feature over 30 sessions and workshops. Attendees include engineers, businesspeople, government officials and private-sector executives from around the world.
