PLENARY 1 - The Domain Name Business: Everything You Want to Know, Ask or Discuss

Session Token for audio in French & Spanish 

Description:

This education, outreach, and engagement plenary session from the ICANN Contract Parties (registries and registrars) aims to improve broader community understanding of the key dynamics of the industry sector on which the finances of ICANN and the ICANN community are based. Generic top-level domain (TLD) registries and registrars occupy a unique position within the ICANN community in that they are directly contracted with ICANN.

First, this plenary session will provide insights into the current marketplace for domain names and related services as well as the dynamics driving change within that marketplace. Second, it will provide insight into the various business models of service providers within the marketplace and the key drivers of these business models. Third, it will create the opportunity for questions, answers and discussions around key business and economic aspects of the businesses and how these may need to be considered within the broader ICANN community and policy making functions.

In addition to the development of the market, topics such as the secondary market for domain names, approaches to abuse, and issues with resellers will be covered by registrars. From the registries, consideration will be given to different approaches for generic (open) TLDs, brand TLDs, and geographic TLDs, as well as key contractual requirements.
