On the occasion of ICANN 40, Crowell & Moring will be hosting a reception at the Press Club in San Francisco. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is holding its conference in San Francisco from March 13-18. ICANN is currently in the process of expanding the suffixes used for internet domain names. That means that retailers will soon be able to secure very specific domains, to supplement the existing “.com”, “.org” and similar assets. For more information on the upcoming changes, please see our previous post on the topic.
 
C&M’s reception will take place on Thursday, March 17, 2011, at 6 pm and will feature California wines. Details and directions can be found on the linked invitation. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Priscilla at pvanrunckelen@crowell.com.
