The Domain Name Industry Association - Durban Update Adrian Kinderis, ARI
A short time ago a few Industry participants formed a small working group tasked with forming a much needed collective for the Domain Name Industry. The Domain Name Industry has long been splintered between different factions and groups despite the fact that we had common interests. It was decided that the Domain Name Association (DNA) would be a forum that members could share these common interests, goals and information. Whilst still developing the group believes it is important to be as inclusive as possible as it structures the membership base. This short briefing will give an update as to the status of the DNA including mission, structure, and activities to date.
