[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Great news for all European Internet watchers, especially those from Belgium and France, ICANN's June 2010 international meeting will be held in Brussels.[/FONT]
The meeting itself promises to be a crucial one. If ICANN's current calendar doesn't change, the first round of new gTLD applications will have opened a few months earlier (February 2010). During the June 20-25 Brussels meeting, attendees should therefore be able to learn more about which new TLDs have been requested and evaluated.
ICANN's European office is in Brussels and the Belgium capital is also home to many of the European Commission's offices. So the June meeting may also provide an interesting backdrop for ongoing discussions between Europe and the US over whether ICANN should be an international organisation or continue to be placed under US control.
