    Default New gtlds seminar

    As mentioned first by Mitsu:
    More than a million .in domains?

    there is an upcoming new gtlds seminar hosted by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. Here is the information I received about it:

    As you may be aware, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the global body which manages Internet names and numbers, is unleashing the new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) shortly. Soon, like .com the users can have for example, a .mumbai or .punjab, etc. The potential benefit of the new generic Top-Level Domain name is aimed at increasing choice and competition for all Internet users. The new gTLD is intended to benefit the billions of Internet users who do not apply for a TLD.

    Mr. Rod Beckstrom, CEO and President, ICANN would be in Delhi on 13-14, October, 2011 to share ICANN perspective on these new gTLD programme. Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the aegis of Department of Information Technology(DIT), Government of India along with National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) and Afilias would be organizing a seminar on 14th October, 2011 at India Habitat Centre, Delhi. The tentative schedule for the programme is being worked out and will be mailed to you soon. Meanwhile, I would like to request you to kindly block the date for fruitful interaction with Mr. Rod.

    For registration and more updates, please visit our website www.idn.cdac.in.

    Looking forward to your support and active participation in the event.

    With regards,
    Mahesh Kulkarni Associate Director & HoD - GIST Research Labs
    Centre for Development of Advanced Computing
    7th floor, NSG IT Park, Aundh,
    Pune - 411007.
