[Air-L] The future of ICANN--public service or private preserve?

[Patricia Aufderheide]

Hope you can either come to this conference<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/events/icann-and-the-new-top-level-domains/?fbclid=IwAR27EiQgcyqs6WR05hR0xhJhpCjN8NVeZY4kWVt5ms8kByuOa_IkYy3VELU> next Monday in DC at American University's law school, or dip into the livestream<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zt-hfwCV0Q>. The two panels--one on trademark/ICANN and one on copyright/ICANN--deal with the issue of what ICANN will become. Will it be a set of privatized registries that set their own terms for content moderation, or return to its origins as a utility, managing domain names on a public service basis?
