Canada Bound for ICANN GDD Summit and RightsCon

I’ll be attending events in Canada next week. The first part of the week will be devoted to ICANN related matters at the GDD Summit in Vancouver. While the schedule for the event has a fairly broad range of topics I suspect a lot of the discussions will be around GDPR and how we’re all […]

While Domain Pulse is running Thursday and Friday a few of us will also […]

And one of the things that I’ve always enjoyed about attending events is that you can often get to meet the person behind the email or the Twitter avatar. I always enjoy that. However we probably haven’t done a very good […]
