ICANN selects Panama for Jun 2016 meeting - Panama City selected for next summer’s meeting. ICANN’s summer meeting next year will take place in Panama City, Panama. The decision was made during a board meeting earlier this week. I think this meeting will draw a lot of domain name investors. Many already live in Panama (such as Andrew Rosener of Media Options) and many more run their businesses out of the country. There are two ICANN meetings between now and the Panama meeting. The first takes place later this month in Dublin, Ireland, ... read more ...

Coming to America: Mark your Calendar for Mar 2011 - ICANN meeting coming to America next Spring. For the first time in a long time ICANN will hold its international meeting in the United States March 13-18, 2011. That means U.S. residents won’t have to make a trip that involves three plane hops and 12 different time zones to attend the meeting. You probably don’t pay attention to ICANN policy that much if you’re a domainer. You aren’t excited by policy. You probably don’t care much, either. That has ... read more ...

ICANN Travel Survey – Poll FAIL - ICANN wants your feedback on international meetings, but it won’t be easy. ICANN is kicking off its “Meetings for the Next Decade” consultation process to figure out how to handle its international meetings. ICANN has been criticized for its large travel budget for many years. I remember at DOMAINfest last year Steve Wozniak joking about when he was asked to join the ICANN board, and how he viewed it as just a way to take some free vacations during the year. ... read more ...

Colombia Faces Uphill Battle to Host ICANN Meeting in December - ICANN still considering options for December meeting. ICANN plans to hold a meeting in Latin America this December, but it hasn’t yet named a location.

On the surface, Colombia might be a good candidate. It’s getting a lot of press as ... read more ...
