| 9:30 - 11:00 | Session: ccTLDs and ICANNDescription: During this session participants will try to find out what form the collaboration between ccTLDs and ICANN could take. The problem is old and well known: country code TLD polices and registration rules are aligned to the local legislation, and ICANN is mostly focused on the common practices that are used by gTLDs. From the other hand ccTLD could adopt huge experience of ICANN that was elaborated after years and years of collecting best practices around the world. We will try to understand how both sides could be helpful to each other. Moderator:
