Montreal added to ICANN calendar — Kobe and

Dust off your Japanese and French.

ICANN has selected the location for two of its meetings taking place in 2019.

ICANN 64 will take place in Kobe, Japan in March 2019 and ICANN 66 will be in Montreal in November 2019. The non-profit has not disclosed a location for ICANN 65 (a policy forum) to take place in June 2019.

People in North American will soon have a handful of conferences just a short flight away. ICANN 61 will be in San Juan, Puerto Rico in March 2018 and ICANN 62 will take place in Panama City, Panama in June 2018. Both of these locations were previously selected but delayed due to concerns regarding Zika.

I don’t think the level of Zika-carrying mosquitos has changed, but the buzz regarding it has.

The full calendar of meetings is available here.
