ICANN Fueled By Rum?
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers wrapped up its conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Friday with a board meeting and a briefing with reporters. ICANN President Paul Twomey said this meeting was "very intense" and "very busy," thanks in part to the tropical surroundings.

"I can't confirm that, but I still can't remember what happened last night," Twomey laughed, hinting that the potent alcoholic beverage was prominently featured at after-hours social gatherings.
Meanwhile, ICANN made progress this week on the issue of domain name "tasting" and "kiting." Read more in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
