ICA Warns Domain Name Industry
The Internet Commerce Association (internetcommerce.org) recently addressed more than 50 domain name owners at the SedoPro conference in New Paltz, New York to discuss potential threats to the value of domain names.
Phil Corwin, a representative of the ICA, says the domain community should try to prevent the disorder the private equity industry faces right now due to the introduction of a bill to tax private equity profits at a higher rate. Corwin says mainstream press has already brought attention to the wealth the domain name industry has been creating, which could get the attention of legislators in Washington and cause a similar situation. However, he says it’s not too late to influence policy making.
In his presentation, Corwin mentioned a few specific threats to domain names including domain name classification as a property versus a license. He says the ICA wants domains to be classified as property and the domain industry should take the lead on getting this position solidified. Another issue is the fact that many registrars are retaining the best expiring domain names, which creates a conflict of interest.

RegisterFly Update March 31 : Not a ICANN accredited registrar
This is an update on the termination of RegistrFly as an ICANN accredited registrar.As was previously advised ICANN sent a notice of termination to RegisterFly effective 31 March 2007. Under the agreement RegisterFly can initiate arbitration challenging the termination. RegisterFly has decided to do that and has notified ICANN. That means the termination has to be stayed by at least an additional thirty days. Consequently there will be no bulk transfer to another Accredited registrar until further notice. This clearly does not help registrants. It is another example of RegisterFly putting its own interests ahead of its customers.
