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.
Vint Cerf and I. (I am on the right ;] ) I am grateful at this opportunity for a photo with this inspirational man. It was an absolute pleasure that Vint would stop and speak with attendees, and he was absolutely a genuine and approachable person. |
 Showing my better half in a picture with two big names in the legal and domain name fields, Bret Fausett and John Berryhill from the Mar del Plata ICANN meetings. |
 Caught semi-off-guard with Joe Alagna from CentralNic. |
 Overcoming Jet Lag with Fernando Espana from Neulevel. |
 I had a photo opportunity with Two Cats from Tucows. (L-R: Ross Rader, Jothan Frakes, and Elliot Noss) |
 Paul Kane of CENTR paused and obliged a photo with me. |
 I got the opportunity to chat a bit with Ray Fassett from .JOBS, and he also told me about the TLD, and about the great work that Overdrive is doing with the King County Library System in distributing ebooks and DRM. |
 This is a unique photo opportunity with the phenomenon known as Alexander. He is very fun to spend time with, and a very good friend. |

DomainFest is an interesting gathering. There were about 20-25 people, all who have the same interest in domain names and the domain name industry here in the Seattle area and outlying states.
There were folks from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and California, and there were also some folks who came down from Vancouver BC for the event.
It was very informal, and this DomainSponsor group really put some effort (staff, planning, money) behind making the event.

A photo from the ICANN Meetings in CapeTown
Paul Twomey stopped to chat briefly and pose with me for a photo. I joked with him to get that smile going, that he would boost my market value if I had a photo with him. He countered, cleverly, that the photo would more likely boost his.
Either way, a good photo and a break from all the meetings for quick chats like this one are what make these meetings worth the long flights.
Yes, I have officially left VeriSign after 7 lovely years with them and the company that they acquired to bring me on board. Great people, and it was a good run. I’ll miss the whole team, but will probably see many of you at ICANN meetings or other industry events.
With a heavy heart, I’d like to announce that I am leaving VeriSign’s Naming and Directory Services.
