Representatives from the .barcelona domain played an active role in the ICANN Contracted Parties meeting in Paris from 6 to 8 May. The event brought together domains, registration companies and groups of interest for the industry to address important topics for domains at a global level.

During the meeting we were able to meet with other geographical and city domains. We also played an active part in the various discussion sessions centring on important matters for the domain community, such as the NIS2 European regulation and the abuse of DNS. The NIS2 is an important regulation affecting cybersecurity at a European level and will come into force in October this year. On a separate note, DNS abuse, such as the improper use of domains for malicious activities, are a habitual concern for registration companies and we have been working for years to establish protocols that enable cases of abuse to be identified and eradicated quickly.

The presence and active participation of the .barcelona domain at this meeting demonstrates our commitment to the ongoing improvement of the domain industry and the defence of the interests of the digital community.
