and Thursday 1 March at 20.00 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:

*       Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy

*       Framework of Interpretation Working Group for the delegation and 
re-delegation of ccTLDs
*       Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group
*       Participation and Engagement activities in Costa Rica

The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. 
Each session, scheduled to run for 90 minutes, will be conducted in English

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

the live sessions, the recording of the session will be made available shortly
