The recent developments concerning the "Trademark Clearinghouse" ( http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse ) which took place in Brussels earlier this week, now point at the fact that the new gTLD process may be delayed further, hence the cancellation while the industry and panellists gather their reactions. Kieren MCCarthy has not told me whether he plans to stage this conference in the near future. The cancellation is a shame because I was looking forward to meet with many of you. ISOC England are however planning a meeting soon, unrelated to new gTLDs, with a tentative date of 30 October 2012. Please pencil this date in your calendars.
