The city of Cotonou in Benin Republic is set to host the sixth Africa DNS Forum slated for on July 3 through 5th with the theme “Building a Sustainable Domain Name Industry in Africa” reports ITRealms.
The Forum, ITRealms gathered, is co-organized by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Africa Top Level Domains Organization (AfTLD), and AfRegistrar. It will be hosted by the Regulatory Authority of Communications Electronics in Benin (ARCEP). This year's forum follows on the success of the preceding forums, held in Durban, South Africa (2013), Abuja, Nigeria (2014), Nairobi, Kenya (2015), Marrakech, Morocco (2016), and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (2017).
Over the past six years, the Africa DNS Forum has become an important annual event, bringing together regional players and world experts in the DNS field to share experiences, best practices, and provide updates on developments in the domain industry.
ITRealms reports that this year’s three-day event builds on the takeaways from the previous one, and addresses key issues that directly concern the regional industry. Among this year’s topics are data protection and privacy, registry and registrar platform development, Internationalized Domain Names and Universal Acceptance initiatives in Africa, and investment opportunities in the Africa DNS industry.
