<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">On 22-23 January 2009, ICANN
hosted its European regional gathering in Rome, Italy. The regional gathering
model was introduced as a means to broaden participation in the ICANN process
by the growing number of registrars and to create an opportunity for ICANN
staff to provide updates on issues that affect gTLD registries and
ICANN-accredited registrars such as contractual compliance, GNSO policy
activities and registrant protection initiatives. &nbsp;In the interest of
transparency, the presentations are being made public and this will become regular
practice.</span></p>
