ICANN hosted its third Asia/Pacific regional gathering in Seoul, Korea. The regional gathering approach to broadening participation in the ICANN process for gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars was first introduced in February 2005 in Brussels, Belgium. And, since that time, ICANN has conducted annually three outreach events – one each in the Asia/Pacific, Europe and North America regions.
As the time nears for ICANN, the internet’s technical oversight body, to publish draft guidelines (request for proposals) in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the gTLD applications, the chorus of criticism against the new domains is getting louder, with some saying it is merely a way for the global domain-name body to make money.
There are a number of ways to value a geographical domain name such as a city. One factor that certainly matters is the population of the city. All else being equal (and it rarely is) a city of 100,000 people is better than a city of 10,000 people.
Sedo, the leading online marketplace for buying and selling domain names, today announced premium domains for its September GreatDomains Auction. The line up includes Fly.com, Planet.com, Brews.com, Bicycle.com, and Address.net. Domain entrepreneurs and enthusiasts will be able to place bids on these names from September 18 through September 25.
Spend much time on domain name forums or at trade shows and you’ll hear a lot of conspiracy theories: auction tampering, domain renewal notices “lost” on purpose, etc.
