ICANN Seoul – Less Than A Week Away

The agenda will, as usual, be varied with topics covering the many different areas of internet policy, current topics and the future.

Another Coffee Related Post
We’ve talked about our fixation with coffee in the past. We’ve since discovered, to my horror, that not all of our staff actually drink coffee, but prefer tea.
