Whether you plan to participate in the upcoming ICANN meeting in Beijing 
remotely or in person, you're invited to an update on the background and 
current status of major policy issues which are likely to be discussed during 
the Beijing Meeting.

The ICANN Policy Staff will provide a briefing on Thursday 21 March at 12.00 
UTC and Thursday 21 March at 19.00 UTC, summarizing policy issues across the 
different ICANN Supporting Organizations, namely the Generic Names Supporting 
Organization (GNSO), Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) and 
Address Supporting Organization (ASO). Amongst other topics, updates will be 
provided on:

 *   WHOIS related activities
 *   The locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings
 *   Protection of IGO and INGO Names
 *   IDN ccNSO PDP
 *   Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories
 *   SSAC report on Domain Name Registration Data Validation Taxonomy

The webinar will cover other topics which will be raised during or otherwise 
relevant to the Beijing Meeting. In addition, staff will provide a briefing on 
the ALAC's activities related to current policy development issues of the 
Supporting Organizations.

The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. 
Each session, scheduled to run for 90 minutes, will be conducted in English 
only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along 
with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each 
session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be submitted using the 
chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able to participate in either of 
the live sessions, the recording of the session will be made available shortly 
after the meeting. The policy staff is always available to answer any questions 
that you email to policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx>.
