The Third .nxt Conference

The third .nxt conference was originally set to be held from June 20-22 2012 in London, the week before ICANN Prague. The conference was postponed until August 29-31, citing New gTLD Program delays as the reason.[8] The conference was officially cancelled a week before it was set to happen, due to fewer numbers of sponsors and participants than anticipated. A number of the sessions that were planned for the conference are to be held online as an alternative.[9]

Blog

The site's blog is largely run by Founder and CEO, Kieren McCarthy. It quickly became a vocal ICANN commentator, and has been known for breaking stories and critically analyzing ICANN's inner workings. It also comments on other policy groups and Internet governance developments. Important stories include leaking six non-papers from the European Commission in August of 2011 that largely describe the Union's desire to see ICANN submit to government demands,[10] and pressing ICANN to reveal the steps leading up to CEO Rod Beckstrom's resignation.[11] Information regarding the latter is likely sought to validate Mr. McCarthy's hypothesis that Rod Beckstrom was not asked to extend his contract, or effectively fired.[12]
