ICANN 66 in Montreal — Scenes from

ICANN’s Annual General Meeting started in Montreal on Saturday. This is my first visit to Montreal and I understand why people like it, at least during the warmer months. Walking around Old Town gives the vibe of being in Paris without the long trip for North America.

Here are some pictures from the event.
