Founder and Curator of Nordic Domain Days, Lars "LG" Forsberg takes to the stage to greet all the new and returning participants.

In this session, Verisign, the operator of the .com domain name, will provide an overview of trends observed from new domain name registrations to help us all better understand the customer journey. By studying the way that services get attached to domain names, we will be able to illustrate the impact that helping domain name registrants attach services to their registrations has on renewal tendencies

After more than a decade since the last round of new gTLDs, in March 2023, ICANN finally approved most of the recommendations necessary to commence the implementation of the next round(s) of new gTLDs. But there is still a lot of work ahead of us before the next round can be opened, and that work will likely take longer than what many had hoped for. This conversation will cover what it is that ICANN approved, what work will be needed to cross the finish line the likely, the likely fees to apply for a new gTLD, and what differences are likely between the 2012 New gTLD round and the round(s) to come.

It’s important to be kind to each other in life. It turns out it’s also important to be kind to each other in the DNS! KINDNS is an initiative supported by ICANN to produce a simple framework that can help a wide variety of DNS operators, from small to large, to follow both the evolution of the DNS protocol and the best practices that the industry identifies for better security and more effective DNS operations. David Huberman will introduce KINDNS and give an update on how it’s going.

Martin joins us from Group.one to share his experience with democratising management of the Group.one internal DNS.
