ICANN 57

Hyderabad – November 3-9, 2016

The Global Net Body, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), held its 57th meeting in Hyderabad which was attended by a large part of the internet community of India.

This conference took place from the 3rd- 9th November, 2016. The ICANN Ceremony was held on 5th November 2016, Saturday at the main Hall and it was graced by Honorable Minister Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad current Union Minister holding Law and Justice and Ministry of Information Technology in India.

ICANN57 was longer than the other ICANN meetings that were conducted because it consisted of 7 days of sessions. The third meeting in the three-meeting annual cycle, ICANN57 is the “Annual General Meeting.” It aims to showcase the ICANN community’s work to a broader global audience, while also having days dedicated for Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) work.
Being one of the ICANN-Accredited Domain Name Registrars, it was imperative for QualiSpace to be a part of this conference. The newly devised ideas and other rules and regulations should be followed by almost everyone in the Domain-Hosting Industry. An ICANN-Accreditation is a validation in itself, thus attending a conference as this was an opportunity for us to network with the like-minded ones and establish ourselves beyond the set horizons.
