Episode 61

In this episode, Matt and Cricket are joined by Kim Davies of ICANN and PTI (you’ll have to tune in to find out what that stands for). Kim edifies us on key ceremonies and the Herculean efforts required to keep a key ceremony secure and transparent during what Matt referred to as a “global pandemic,” immediately regretting his use of the redundant phrase. Later, Cricket is embarrassed to learn that Matt has already read both of the new books he’s reading (John Scalzi’s “ The Last Emperox ” and Martha Wells’s latest in the Murderbot series, “ Network Effect “), and Kim laments that the end of business travel leaves him with no time to watch anything. Oh, and the guys (or Matt, really) answer a really good question from Swapneel Patnekar about an ICANN paper on the effects of COVID-19 on the root name servers . If you’ve already listened to the episode and are interested in the resources Kim referred to, here are the links: Attending a ceremony . Volunteering to be a Trusted Community Representative . ICANN’s blog post on the COVID-19-impacted ceremony .
