Not very pleasant developments happening in India in recent months. Just got to know that a multiple-times ICANN Fellow & current ISOC Delhi officebearer has been involved in shady domain businesses and recently organised a Domain Auction which was nothing but a joke with auctioneer indulging in shill bidding to manipulate prices / grab domains, not paying to seller whose domains were sold at the auction and a buyer who had won many domains and paid but didn’t get the domains. The following forum posts have detailed info about what happened at the auction https://www.namepros.com/threads/domainx-2019-live-auction-very-bad-experien... https://www.namepros.com/threads/first-live-auction-domainx-2019-conference-... The last 12 minutes show the auctioner bidding on the domain himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=u_yXP1faeaw I am surprised how such people have been getting nominated to positions that require high levels of ethics, integrity???
