Eco and i2Coalition Strengthen Ties

April 3, 2017 by Michele Neylon

Last week most of the hosting and domain name industry was in Rust, Germany for WHD.global. During the event i2Coalition and Eco worked together on several sessions and also signed a new MOU. Details below.

Here’s the full release:

Leading Internet Associations Strengthen Cooperation

They chose to publicly sign a Memorandum of Understanding at World Hosting Days (www.whd.global). The venue is no coincidence since the conference is the world´s largest hosting event with more than 6.500 attendees. Klaus Landefeld, Member of the Board at eco Association commented: „We want it to be known to all those running the technical infrastructure of the Internet that they can rely on our organizations to take care of their interests when it comes to Internet Governance and regulatory matters on both sides of the Atlantic.“ David Snead, i2Coalition’s Board Chair added: “There are many areas of joint interest where our collaboration will be to the benefit for all those we represent.“

The co-operation shall cover areas such as fighting abuse, policy making and awareness raising. The organizations have been working together successfully already in the context of the IANA Stewardship Transition, The Messaging Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG), and the Internet Service and Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency at ICANN.
