The ICANN Paris meeting week was a lot of work… but there were also some great opportunities to relax, such as the Gala event held at the majestic Paris town hall.

Well actually, that should read: what a year. Because building up to an ICANN meeting taking place in your home town is an unbelievable amount of work and means months of preparation and planning.

Or at least it has for us. INDOM was heavily involved in the meeting, from being part of the organizing committee at Agifem to setting up the first-ever ICANN meeting shuttle service.

We also worked hand-in-hand with ICANN during the meeting to provide a French translation of the meeting newsletters that come out every day during the actual ICANN meeting week. This was also a first, as the daily newsletters weren't available in French before.

Manning a booth was also an intense task. That was a first for INDOM at an ICANN meeting and proved to be very enriching in terms of the quality of contacts we were able to establish.

In fact, the meeting as a whole was a runaway success and we're proud to have been a part of that. ICANN VP Paul Levins summarized the Paris meeting at its close, just prior to the final Board meeting and its historic vote.
