.Nxt conference cancellation

It is with the greatest regret that we are announcing the cancellation of the .Nxt London conference, scheduled for 29-31 August.

Ongoing uncertainty over the new gTLD process run by ICANN - the focus of the conference - has led to fewer sponsors and confirmed attendees than at our previous two conferences and so made the event as originally planned untenable.

We would like to sincerely apologize to all attendees and sponsors. We are attempting to personally contact all those that planned to attend and will do what we can to limit the impact of the cancellation.

In order to capture months of work and provide value to the Internet community, our intent is to run some of the conference's planned sessions online, rather than in-person, over the next few months. More details will be provided as we have them.

Extensive analysis of the process, as well as ongoing Internet policy and governance issues, will also be provided on the .Nxt website.

Yours sincerely

Kieren McCarthy
CEO, .Nxt
