Session teaser

One big hope of the Internet Community is that the expansion of the name space with more top-level domains (new gTLDs) will finally bring, beside choice and diversity, more competition and innovation to the Internet and its users. The revolutionary introduction of more than 1,000 new extensions during the last could been seen as litmus test for these expectations and raises questions:. Is innovation in the domain name space realistic? How does theoretical and real innovation in the DNS could look like and what are the examples so far? What are the results of ICANN’s studies on competitive effects of new gTLDs? …

Session description

In the session the panelist will discuss and highlight with the audience two important questions (focal points) raised by ICANN’s expansion of the name space with more top-level domains (new gTLDs).

Focal Point Competition - For the question whether the name space revolution was successful in creating more competition for the benefit of consumers we will have an introductory presentation on the very recent study results. Initial indications are that ICANN’s New gTLD Program has led to a dramatic increase in consumer choice, a modest increase in competition and minimal impact on consumer trust. We will also hear about other aspects such as policy updates in top-level domains, such as .eu, and discuss them.

Focal Point Innovation - For the question whether if there is innovation in the DNS and domain names we will discuss with experts how innovation in the DNS could look like and what are the examples. The discussion may include innovative use of the DNS in the .tel gTLD, gTLDs used in Internet of Things (IoT) and industry digitalization, DNS based methodologies to eradicate malware, botnets and phishing, one click solutions by registrars for domain-email-website to ease everything for the consumer, ENUM, DANE and other solutions, privacy features and GDPR solutions.

Format

11:00-11:40 – Introductory presentation on the focal points competition and innovation (various speakers)

11:40-12:30 – Moderated discussion of the focal points
