Dear ccTLD Community Members,

We are pleased to announce the call for presentation proposals for the
upcoming ccTLD News Session, scheduled to take place during the ICANN80
Policy Forum, held 10-13 June in Kigali, Ruanda. This session aims to
provide updates, share insights, and facilitate discussions on topics
relevant to country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and their
operations.

The ccTLD News Sessions have been a part of the ccNSO Members Meetings
for several years and have provided a global platform for both
experienced and new people to meet, share experiences and discuss
ccTLD-related aspects.

PRESENTATION TOPICS | This is a session for and by ccTLDs.  We invite
proposals for presentations on the following topics (but not limited
to):

  	* Case studies showcasing ccTLD initiatives
	* ccTLD collaboration and partnerships
	* Recent developments and updates within the ccTLD community
	* Policy or legislative initiatives impacting ccTLD operations
	* Practices in registry management, marketing, and community engagement

The session will allow for both in-person and virtual participation.
Simultaneous interpretation will be available for selected ccNSO
sessions during the upcoming ICANN Public Meeting, including the ccTLD
News Session.  Participants will be able to select the language they
wish to speak or listen to in Zoom.  Languages available will be Arabic,
English, French or Spanish.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES | Presentation proposals should include a title,
abstract (few sentences), and the name, ccTLD affiliation and contact
details of the presenter.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE |  Please submit your presentation proposals no
later than 8 May 2024 (23:59 UTC) via
https://forms.gle/TNefyANLGJq19wm17 [1]

SELECTION PROCESS | Proposals will be reviewed by the ccNSO Meetings
Programme Committee (MPC) based on overall contribution to the
objectives of the ccTLD News Session, taking into consideration the
limited number of speaking slots. The MPC embraces diversity, including
among others in terms of experiences and regional affiliation. Following
conclusion of the MPC deliberations, all applicants will be notified by
17 May 2024, COB.  All presenters will receive a briefing paper
outlining role, scope, etc. All session presenters will be invited to
attend an informational pre-session meeting and a rehearsal session
closer to the meeting.

BENEFITS OF PRESENTING |

  	* Showcase your expertise and thought leadership within the ccTLD
community
	* Engage with fellow ccTLD operators, industry experts, and
stakeholders
	* Contribute to the advancement of best practices and knowledge sharing
for and by ccTLDs
