ICANN63 in Barcelona

ICANN returns to Europe, to the wonderful city of Barcelona for the ICANN63 Annual General Meeting, which holds from 20th to 25th October 2018. This year’s meeting is important, as the first two days will coincide with the High-Level Government Meeting (HLGM) hosted by the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC).

The HLGM is held every two years in addition to the usual GAC meetings. Barcelona will host the fourth HLGM. HLGMs reinforce the critical role that governments play in providing advice to the ICANN Board on public policy relating to the secure and stable functioning of the Domain Name System. They also give participants the opportunity to discuss at a very senior level the current public policy issues and challenges at ICANN.
