Technical questions regarding the operation of the Internet and the Domain Name System (DNS) will be dealt with. Participants can also hope for answers concerning the new domain extensions. The gTLD Applicant Guidebook on the soon to be introduced new TLDs was published in the course of the last public meeting in Singapore.

Other topics at the conference will include improving the transparency of ICANN decision-making processes and the criteria required to appoint a successor to the present CEO of ICANN, Rod Beckstrom.
