ICANN Training Series - Central Europe & Baltics: IPv6 in Central Europe (and Why It's Important)
As one of the world’s five Regional Internet Registries, the RIPE NCC collects a lot of data around Internet development and connectivity throughout Europe - including IPv6 deployment. In this talk, we’ll explain the basics of IPv6 and why it’s so important for the Internet’s continued growth and innovation. We’ll also give an overview of the current state of IPv6 deployment in Central Europe, including how traffic is routed over IPv6, the relationship between different networks in these countries, how much IPv6 address space is actually in use and more.
Speaker: Suzanne Taylor, Public Policy & Internet Governance Consultant, RIPE NCC

How Estonia Tamed Domain Dropcatchers: The Story of Domain Auctions
In 2016, the .ee national domain faced a long-standing problem: the unfair technical advantage of so-called domain catchers. The solution? Implement a transparent auction system that would create a level playing field for all interested parties. It wasn’t inspired by anything else but was a purely internal initiative – with the goal of fairness, not profit. The .cz registry did an interview with our Head of Development, Timo Võhmar, and discussed our domain auction system and experiences.
