Frankfurt hosted a meeting for the members of the GeoTLD group on 9 September, adopting a hybrid virtual and on-site format due to the pandemic.

The meeting was used to present and discuss the latest on the next round of GeoTDL requests, as well as to exchange opinions on the relationship and cooperation between registers and different departments of the ICANN. The meeting concluded with a session on the abuse of DNS (Domain Name Systems) and cybersecurity.

These meetings are fundamental for members of the GeoTLD group to be able to exchange impressions in an enriching way, particularly on their goals and on the point where each of them is at.

A geoTLD is a top-level domain which represents communities of a cultural, linguistic or social nature with a strong and specific geographical presence. Members include the domain .scot, .cat, .eus and .gal, as well as city domains such as .sydney, .stockholm and .barcelona.
