Shots in arms. We're getting somewhere, but we still have a long way to go...unsurprisingly, NamesCon canceled its summer event in Budapest. And the June ICANN meeting will be virtual.

The domain name industry is international, which makes getting together during a pandemic more challenging.

But we're seeing progress. Green shoots, if you will. I can't wait to see you all in person again.

Scroll down to find the top five stories on Domain Name Wire from the last month, as well as the five podcasts I published. If you have a suggestion for a future podcast guest, please let me know.
