Want To Run A ccTLD?

Who needs new gTLDs when you can grab your own ccTLD! Last year I noticed a trend in the ccTLD world, with a lot of governments and interest groups taking an interest in governance of their namespaces. AFNIC, which runs .fr and several other cctlds, came under review from the French government. Less than a… Continue reading Want To Run A ccTLD?

Nominet Board Member Resigns

Jim Davies, who was at the centre of a recent debacle involving Nominet, has tendered his resignation from the board.

More Nominet Jigs and Reels

In the lead up to Nominet’s AGM earlier this year I mentioned some of the squabbling. While we may have had a respite, it’s now “open season” once again.

At… Continue reading So Where Exactly Is The Comreg Report?

IEDR Releases More Hyped Statistics

The IEDR has obviously released some form of press release in the last few days to put a spin on its latest figures.

Has the time come to redelegate IE namespace?

  I’ve written extensively about the IE namespace and its current registry operator – IEDR in the past. While I’ve always tried to be fair and balanced in my coverage of the issues facing the IE namespace I’m afraid my patience with the current registry operator has worn thin. While things may have improved over… Continue reading Has the time come to redelegate IE namespace?

Crazy ccTLD Price Hikes?

Image via Wikipedia Jackie Liu’s post on CircleID raises some very interesting questions, though whether or not any answers will be forthcoming or not is a totally different matter. While a lot of ccTLDs are dropping their wholesale rates others are raising them (or have raised them). The problem, as Liu points out, is that… Continue reading Crazy ccTLD Price Hikes?
