December ICANN Annual Meeting

[MarkMitford]

Anyone thinking of going?

December 14/15 in Amsterdam.

It's more useful for making good contacts in the registrar community than it is for affecting the outcome of any decisions ICANN makes.

Wonder when ICANN's reconsideration committee are going to get around to discussing the appeal of the WLS decision?

Mark......

hmm... I might be able to go on the 14th, I live in the Netherlands.... I'll see what I can do to go

do you know if it is open for everyone and if there are admission fees etc?

 

[MarkMitford]

Its free.

Many people feel the board meeting itself is an exercise in futility as ICANN has given up all pretense of listening to or caring about input from domain name owners. The big issue to be rubber-stamped at this meeting is the "reform" of ICANN whereby they remove the ability for the general public to directly elect ICANN board members.

I just checked and unfortunately I already had something planned for those days so I can't go. I don't register a whole lot of names so it may have been a waste of time anyways...
