GeoTLD Group Annual Members Meeting in Fryslân, the Netherlands
On 16-17 September, members of the GeoTLD Group gathered in Leeuwarden, Fryslân, for their annual meeting. The event was hosted by .frl (dotLocal), the geoTLD representing the province of Fryslân (Friesland), one of the twelve provinces of the Netherlands.
Over the two-day program, members exchanged the latest updates on their respective geoTLDs, discussed preparations for the upcoming round of new gTLD applications with the ICANN program lead, and explored broader trends shaping the Internet and domain name industry.
A highlight was the engagement session with the ICANN community, where the GeoTLD Group exchanged views and shared updates with the leadership from ICANN’s Government Advisory Committee (GAC), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG), and the Brand Registry Group (BRG).
Looking ahead, the GeoTLD Group will next convene during the ICANN 84 meeting in Dublin.
