Representatives of the .UZ Domain Administration participated in the 86th ICANN Forum, held from June 8 to 11, 2026, in Seville, Spain. The forum brought together members of the global Internet community to discuss current issues related to Internet development, the domain industry, and policy development in the field of Internet governance.

As part of the forum, representatives of the .UZ Domain Administration participated in working meetings, thematic sessions, and professional discussions dedicated to the development of country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), the resilience and security of Internet infrastructure, and the improvement of global Internet governance mechanisms.

Special attention was given to cooperation with the international community of country code top-level domain operators. During meetings with representatives of ccNSO, participants discussed prospects for further collaboration, the involvement of the .UZ Domain Administration in ICANN initiatives, and opportunities to expand its participation in the activities of the international professional community.

An important highlight of the forum was the introduction to Seher Sagiroglu, the new Stakeholder Engagement Manager – Middle East & Central Asia. During a productive discussion, the parties explored current areas of cooperation, exchanged views on the development of the region’s Internet ecosystem, and outlined plans for future collaboration.

The forum also provided an opportunity for representatives of the .UZ Domain Administration to meet with ICANN Vice President Chris Mondini. The meeting served as a valuable occasion to strengthen professional ties with members of the international Internet community.

Participation in the forum provided an opportunity to familiarize with current international best practices in the management of national domain zones, expand professional contacts with representatives of national registries, industry organizations, and the expert community, as well as gain valuable experience for the further development of the .UZ domain infrastructure.
