moderator Braden
Pollock kicked things off with
welcoming remarks at 12 noon, then Godefroy
Jordan, the CEO and founder of
Paris-based registry operator Starting Dot,
delivered a keynote speech about new gTLDs
titled "The New Frontier in Domain
Names." New
gTLDs would remain a key theme throughout
the day, figuring into almost all of the five
business sessions that followed. In the photo
below, you see Pollock (at far left) moderating
a panel discussion that featured (left to right
after Pollock) Xavier Buck (EuroDNS), Michele
Neylon (Blacknight) and Tim Switzer
(.Green).

full day of business is on tap tomorrow
when Mr. Buck will kick things off with a 10am
talk on recent changes in the industry. The
Friday agenda
also includes a half dozen more sessions
covering a variety of hot industry topics.
Tomorrow night's gala dinner will also be of
special interest. That is when Jodi
Chamberlain, who is producing the conference
with Dietmar Stefitz, will have her long
brown hair shaved
off in exchange for donations to the
Water
School. Over $21,000 has
already been raised and it's not too late
to make
a donation!
