This blog has been developed in order to record the way we developed the ISSCIO website, with no regard to the things on this way being the setbacks or breakthroughs. While it is mainly the developments that I talk in this blog, this time it is rather a mix of both.
As you know, the very tragic events happened in Japan on and after March 11 this year. And while the general manager Lucas Vall departed, with a one day-delay, to the U.S. for ICANN meeting the next day after the earthquake, I myself had followed the example of many others moving further to the south to escape recurring aftershocks and blackouts. Because of this, the activity of ISSCIO has been almost completely impaired for about two weeks and started to activate little by little just after that. It is finally reaching its full power right now, after the blackouts in Tokyo were stopped till summer.
The setback in ISSCIO activity has definitely had a negative impact on our IP community as we were not able to reach out to many of lawyers or continue working on new projects. Despite this, there was no dropping down in the visits to the site due to the increased popularity of ISSCIO topics in Google. The most popular topics in Google remain TM: Turkey and Cyprus (due to the very good information posted by experts in it), joined by a rising in popularity .XXX.
We are grateful to all of those who sent the warm mails of support after the disaster, thank you very much!
Wishing you all the very best in your business and hoping for further cooperation,
Olga Yevetska
