Part 2: Policy Roundtable on PKNIC Policies

 The next part of the Workshop is a Roundtable aimed at being an even more interactive session regarding PKNIC policies and issues such as:

 1) Urdu and regional domain name policy (what is allowed, disallowed, do we separate namespace for regional languages, or keep them together, solutions to the phishing problem and domain security, etc)

2) The process to obtain the control of a domain if the authorization code is lost, and the domain record does not contain the claimant/user's name (the balance between the security of domain vs. the convenience of users, and the legal hassle of obtaining affidavits, etc).

There is a registration fee of Rs. 4000/- per participant. PASHA members may register at a discounted fee of Rs. 2000/-.  You may register over email to registration@dndrc.com or on the website at www.dndrc.com/registration
