Whether you plan to participate in the upcoming ICANN meeting in Beijing 
remotely or in person, you're invited to an update on the background and 
current status of major policy issues which are likely to be discussed 
during the Beijing Meeting.
The ICANN Policy Staff will provide a briefing on *Thursday 21 March at 
12.00 UTC and Thursday 21 March at 19.00 UTC*, summarizing policy issues 
across the different ICANN Supporting Organizations, namely the Generic 
Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), Country Code Names Supporting 
Organization (ccNSO) and Address Supporting Organization (ASO). Amongst 
other topics, updates will be provided on:
 * WHOIS related activities
 * The locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings

 * IDN ccNSO PDP
 * Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories
 * SSAC report on Domain Name Registration Data Validation Taxonomy

The webinar will cover other topics which will be raised during or 
otherwise relevant to the Beijing Meeting. In addition, staff will 
provide a briefing on the ALAC's activities related to current policy 
development issues of the Supporting Organizations.
The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time 
zones. Each session, scheduled to run for 90 minutes, will be conducted 
in English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide 
presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of 
each session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be 
submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able 
to participate in either of the live sessions, the recording of the 
session will be made available shortly after the meeting. The policy 
staff is always available to answer any questions that you email to
