Former US president Bill Clinton has been confirmed as the star guest speaker of ICANN’s 40th public meeting, which kicks off in San Francisco in a little under two weeks.
According to a tweet minutes ago from CEO Rod Beckstrom, Clinton will address ICANN’s Gala event, March 16 in Union Square.
This is usually an evening drinks-n-canapes event or a sit-down dinner. The SF Gala is scheduled for 7pm.
Given the central, outdoor location, I’m sure security will be tight. We could be looking at another limited-numbers, invitation-only event.
Beckstrom has previously stated that Clinton’s fee will be covered by a special sponsorship deal, but the identity of the sponsor does not appear to have been revealed yet.
I like how you touched on the fee for Clinton. I am sure unless this information is leaked we will never really hear about it. Clinton is a pricey speaker, I would love to hear about the special sponsor. 🙂
Would anyone know where i can find a transcript from today’s ICANN/GAC meeting?

I wonder who what will become more newsworthy,
