From 8 to 11 June 2026, the ICANN86 Policy Forum brings the community to the FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre in Seville, the first ICANN public meeting ever held in the city.
The Policy Forum is the shortest of ICANN’s three yearly meetings and the most focused: four days on the policy work in progress. For a data provider that matters, because the rules on registration data and DNS abuse decide what data exists, who can reach it, and what registries and registrars are expected to do with it.
Two topics we will be following closely:
- Registration data. With RDAP now the standard for gTLD registration data, how that data is accessed and kept current affects everyone who relies on it, ourselves included.
- DNS abuse. Registries and registrars are being asked to do more about abuse. Good data, kept fresh, is how they find it sooner.
Between sessions we will be meeting registry and registrar partners to talk about Name Suggestion, Data Provisioning, and our work this year to make our domain data more accurate and fresher.
