On September 12-13, 2018 Jurmala (Latvia) will host the 11th International Conference for ccTLD Registries and Registrars of CIS, Central and Eastern Europe, TLDCON 2018 (http://tldcon.ru/en/). The conference, organized by the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ with support of the National Registry of the .LV NIC.LV domain, will be held at the Baltic Beach Hotel & SPA. The Technical Center of Internet is the conference’s general partner.
The organizers have outlined the main topics to be discussed for TLDCON 2018: the security of the domain market, ccTLDs vs New gTLDs, the secondary market, as well as new technological solutions in DNS.
During the session on security, participants will consider all aspects of combating illegal content, determine the role registrars and registries play in this process and how this role will change over time. Cybersecurity and content experts will suggest how the situation will develop.
Another relevant subject is ccTLDs vs New gTLDs. Has the domain market become too crowded? How do country code top level domains fare in one market with New gTLDs? What market difficulties have they encountered? How do they manage to find their unique market niche? The participants will exchange their positive and negative experiences.
Using blockchain technology in DNS is a brave idea. Our experts will explain how to use this technology in the registry, why hyper-localization of DNS is needed, and share other options in the development of domain name system technologies. Join this discussion to show your achievements to other participants. The conference program is still being worked out, and the TLDCON 2018 program committee invites domain market experts, registries and registrars, lawyers, marketing professionals and cybersecurity experts, and other conference participants to offer their presentations for the program. Please send them to the TLDCON 2018 program committee at meeting@cctld.ru.
