ICANN Announces New Meetings During 2016 and 2018

Following the increased demands for a higher frequency of meetings, ICANN has decided to ask for availability from possible hosts for the time period of June 2016 to October 2018.

The meetings will be organized by a pattern which will be different each time, according to the strategy that was decided by ICANN’s Board in November last year. There will be a total number of three meetings, called Meeting A, Meeting B and Meeting C.

The announce is motivated by the over-scheduling of agendas and the lower possibility of interaction between communities. There is also a decrease of 25 percent being offered for the last two meetings every year in case of the proposals that will be accepted.

The events are expected to take place all across Latin and North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
