Ran into William H. Macy at the airport. He was completely down to earth and friendly, and obliged a mobile phone camera pic.
Frank Mitchlick of DomainEditorial invited some of the most amazing people in Ontario (who are large domainers) to dinner.
I had a chance to meet up with Mark Jeftovic ,
James Woods , and Ross Rader
while in Toronto for the event, and saw a lot of familiar industry faces while there for the dinner.
Great Stuff!
Morocco ICANN meeting in Marrakech was a great experience, the weather was warm, plus I brought my better half and her sister along for the conference, and it was good to have all of my industry friends meet my great Melissa.
I had the opportunity to moderate a panel discussion on the Domain Name Marketplace Workshop, which I thought was very visionary on behalf of ICANN to have as part of their schedule.
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.
I Guest host on Domain Masters tonight, 4pm Pacific, 7PM eastern, guest hosting for Monte Cahn while he is travelling. I was humbled that Monte chose me for this, as he is a kindred spirit who works very hard to develop awareness in the Domain Industry and grow the internet naming space. My guest was be Antony Van Couvering of Names@Work, a friend and mutual long time participant in the domain name industry. This should prove to be a great session, but it is my first webcast, so please pardon my ‘uh’ and ‘uhm’ count. 🙂
DotEU Sunrise! is here. The folks at EURID deserve a round of applause for opening these floodgates during calendar 2005 after such a long and arduous process.
