Session 4A (Venue: Vientiane Grand Ballroom, Ground Floor)
Cybersecurity Regulations and the Role of Government
Bruce Schneier is often quoted as saying, If you think technology
can
solve your security problems, then you don’t understand the problems and you
don’t understand the technology, - but he falls short of who and what can. In
search of panacea the session will understandably focus on regulation and
governments.

let’s
be smart and examine the it but let’s make sure no animal was harmed in the
making
of this examination

Session 5
Policy Panel Discussion: In Search of Fun for Homies
Many great thinkers praise sharing as the most precious human
feature,
and one of them even coined an immortal formula for that, which goes, It ain’t
no
fun if the homies can’t have none .Still, sharing zone data file data is a
thorny
issue for ccTLDs, and for many reasons. The panel will discuss ccTLDs’
perspectives on risks and benefits of sharing zone file data with peers and,
who
knows, even third parties.

In-house Staff Capacity Building
Do you know that capacity building originally meant helping people
to
help themselves, while now it rather means required training to deliver imposed
policies? So, the purpose is clear, but the How? still needs to be explored.

Technical: Confusing String Similarity
ICANN’s new gTLD Applicant Guidebook states that CSS occurs when

string “so nearly resembles another that it is likely to deceive or cause
confusion.” It is up to ccTLDs to ensure this optic illusion won’t happen. The
session will discuss recent practices in the area.

Trademark Protection under Different
Legal Regimes
Who said law experts are just a bunch of boiled shirts? Law is like poetry,
actually! For naysayers, here is a piece of lyrics The Way You Protect (The
Eager,
Knowledgeable and Passionate Person Song) by an imaginary band Paralegals,
which
we’ve composed as an homage to our legal experts. And the tune will be the
panel’s, of course.
