Netsol Take Evil To A New Level

January 9, 2008 by Michele Neylon

A couple of months ago I posted about domain name front running. I'd been at a meeting during ICANN's LA meeting and had also read Jay Daley's paper on the subject.At the time I was unconvinced as to the existence of front running as a practice.In light of the revelations that have come to light in the last couple of days I may have to modify my previous views.What's … [Read more...] about Netsol Take Evil To A New Level

ICANN – Data Escrow Implementation

November 11, 2007 by Michele Neylon

I've mentioned some of the concerns that have been raised in the ICANN community over the past year.One of the areas that was of particular concern in the aftermath of the RegisterFly meltdown was registrant data. In simple terms, if a registrar fails there could be a serious issue gaining access to the information linking registrants to their domain names. For some registries … [Read more...] about ICANN – Data Escrow Implementation

The Downside To UltraCheap Registrars

October 11, 2007 by Michele Neylon

Some domain registrars only USP (unique selling point) is price. I've mentioned the issues with DirectI's pricing structures in the past. With the price increase this week I was more or less expecting there to be some kind of backlash, but I wasn't expecting this:All the Pending gTLD Transfer Orders (i.e. orders that haven't yet been executed) throughout your Reseller Chain … [Read more...] about The Downside To UltraCheap Registrars

The Logistics of an ICANN Meeting – Paris 2008

September 25, 2007 by Michele Neylon

Between 1200 and 1500 people attend each ICANN meeting.A few months ago I had a look over the documents provided to potential hosts to get some idea of the requirements and it was quite scary on some levels.The organisers of next year's Paris meeting have been sharing some of the details (in French), though they still haven't finalised the actual venue (not that I'm complaining … [Read more...] about The Logistics of an ICANN Meeting – Paris 2008

September 18, 2007 by Michele Neylon

Domain pricing is always an emotive subject.In recent discussions among Nominet members it came up as part of a discussion on drop-catching and domaining. Some people feel that the fees are too high, while others feel that they need to be increased significantly in order to discourage domainers. Within the Irish internet community the upcoming change to policy regarding … [Read more...] about Domain Pricing – What’s Going On?

China Leaps Ahead – EU Loses Ground

September 2, 2007 by Michele Neylon

Verisign's latest domain report makes for interesting reading.The Chinese domain registry launched an aggressive price promotion at the beginning of the year and has seen in excess of 6 million names registered so far. Of course this could be similar to the .be promotion and the level of renewals is the thing to watch out for. Coming as it does at the dawn of .asia you'd have … [Read more...] about China Leaps Ahead – EU Loses Ground

A few short days ago I mentioned that Eurid had taken action against a Chinese individual who had registered over ten thousand domains.While I initially did not expect to hear anything more about this story until the court made a declaration it seems that I was mistaken.According to a story published by French domain news site DomainesInfo there could be a link between the … [Read more...] about Eurid Registrar Possibly Implicated in Squatting
