1. Is the business of selling domain names subject to "sales tax"?
No.
Besides I thought the names were not sold but rather that use were licensed with right of renewal. I admit that to non lawyer like me the difference is tenuous. But there is a difference. I am sure.
2. Do you have Registrars or resellers positioned across different parts of the United States?
Yes, but it's irrelevant.
what does irrelevance have to do with anything? why is it relevant?
3. Are their core businesses "taxable"?
No.
Well sort of depends on what their core business is. Well actually isn't it income and assets that are taxable?
What does this have to do with ICANN or anything related to NARALO?
Well somebody at ICANN on the At-Large list thought it was interesting and the At-Large list is sort off a catch-all for things people think are interesting that might-maybe-could have a relationship to ICANN stuff. And if they really are not going to affect ICANN stuff, then maybe an explanation would have been a cool thing to offer. cheers avri
