ICANN meeting in Nairobi running well, report attendees.
With all of the hype around security and possible disruptions, those
in attendance at ICANN’s meeting in Nairobi say all is going well.
Attorney John Berryhill writes “The summit and the ICANN meeting are
both running smoothly here. The “security issue” is waaaay overblown by
those who simply didn’t want the meeting held in Kenya. The conference
center is huge and in a secure block with Kenyan military around the
perimeter…”
Berryhill surmises that it’s probably safer than Philadelphia.
Berryhill sent this picture from the room of the conference center
in Kenya. He said the buses enter a secure gate and then all guests go
through a second perimeter. The conference center is huge, and there
were no difficulties with the African leadership summit.
Reports on Twitter show that ICANN leadership is actually making
progress on issues at this meeting, holding various groups accountable
rather than letting them just delay progress.

Finally, a little humor for you. A celebrity guest interrupted the ICANN meeting today:
Notice the tattoo on Kayne West’s forearm.
Thanks John for keeping us all up to date.
