<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">Join OTA and industry leaders for a discussion on the risk and consequences of domain collisions resulting from the delegation of new gTLDs. This full-day multi-stakeholder workshop will review
the open issues and help develop remediation plans to address the impending risk of Domain Collision. Not unlike Y2K and the recent efforts to address the threats of DNSChanger exploit, the business community, industry and infrastructure providers need to
work together to understand the risks and how to prepare for them.</font></div>
