The second year of the conference, which I had the priveledge and honor to be executive producer on, has gone famously!
We had some great highlights, such as both Paul Twomey and Vint Cerf of ICANN as keynote speakers, plus Matt Bentley of Sedo and Marc Ostrovsky of iReit.
There was so much amazing content, fantastic speakers, and a great experience for everyone who participated in the event.
Sponsors, Speakers, and Attendees all had a positive experience, and I am grateful that this was such a great show as a result of it all.
One never knows what interesting things will happen when you put together so many different interests together under the same roof for the purposes of eduction and networking, but if the different emails that I saw afterwards were any indication, this was an amazing success!
Thank you to all the staff at Name Intelligence for their hard work and efforts on making this a wonderful conference for all the attendees.

I completely take my hat off to Ali Farshchian at CircleID and the team at Leading Edge and CIRA for how smoothly the Vancouver meetings went. This was very well executed, right down to the Skenzo / Logicboxes Casino night.

The ICANN meetings in Luxembourg were hot but good. Lots accomplished here. The ccNSO has put together some fairly agile accountability frameworks that will hopefully be the start of better metrics – on behalf of ICANN/IANA and on behalf of the ccTLD administrators. This has been deadlocked for a long period of time by a number of issues, and Chris Disspain, among others, as really untangled the mess.
There is no perfect, but what seems to be the case is that there may be a solution where there is equity to the dissatisfaction on both sides.
Anyway, I have written an article on CircleID about this event.
Special thanks to Gavin Brown of Centralnic for the photos.

The Domain Roundtable Conference, which I had to bootstrap from the ground up, has turned out to be a success.
Thank you to all the staff at Name Intelligence and to the attendees and industry that came out to support this great gathering.
The speakers were all top notch, the content was fantastic, and the place was absent any egos.
It was an interesting thing to see Intellectual Property interests, Domain Name registries and registrars, and domain investors all under one roof getting to know each other.

I had the opportunity to join Bob Parsons on his podcast today. This was a pretty good experience, and
they let me promote the Domain Roundtable Conference on
RadioGoDaddy.com today. Good stuff, and for those of us in the
audience with short attention spans, here is the link
to that podcast session, and they introduced me at about 38 minutes in.

Great news! Bob Parsons, the resounding and popular voice of Radio GoDaddy! and the prolific CEO of the worlds largest internet registrar has confirmed that he will speak at the Domain Roundtable!
This will no doubt be a very well attended session.Â
My thanks to Bob Parsons for this, and also to him and Nima Kelly for having me on their webcast to promote the Domain Roundtable.
