.fi: Dispute Resolution in the .fi Registry – Sanna Sahlman, .fi
A brief introduction to the Finnish domain name dispute resolution. FICORA (.fi registry) can revoke domain names which have been registered against the Domain Name Act. Domain names are, in principle, free to be chosen, but the domain name registrant is responsible for the lawfulness of its registration. FICORA can afterwards intervene in a unlawful registration of a domain name by, for example, revoking the domain name. Claims are typically arisen/demanded by trademark or trade name holders. FICORA's own legal counsels handle approx. 100 dispute cases during each year. The presentation will cover legal principles, procedure, some practical examples and statistics.

LACTLD Anycast cloud - Carolina Aguerre, LACTLD; Frederico Neves, .br
This presentation will serve to introduce the project "LACTLD Anycast cloud" which is a collaborative project between ccTLDs in LACTLD and LACNIC. This is a non-profit initiative, based on a best effort service which aims to enhance collaboration and exchange amongst ccTLDs and to develop extra resilience to the DNS in the region.
