Possibly Off-topic - Aftermarket in ccTLDs - Good Or Bad?
Wearing one of my other hats I've been asked to put together a paper on the aftermarket for cctlds covering both sides of the debate. I'd love to get people's views on domain aftermarkets - good, bad or indifferent Thanks in advance Regards Michele Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting & Colocation, Brand Protection ICANN Accredited Registrar http://www.blacknight.com/ http://blog.blacknight.com/ http://blacknight.mobi/ http://mneylon.tel Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 US: 213-233-1612 UK: 0844 484 9361 Locall: 1850 929 929 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Twitter: http://twitter.com/mneylon PS: Check out our latest offers on domains & hosting: http://domainoffers.me/ ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845

Why limit the scope to CCs? Are we well know, many operate as generics, and even most of those who don't still leave plenty of opportunity for speculation. Do you really want to know about the public view? Be careful what you wish for. In the circles I travel it's been my observation that, by and large, the only people who consider domaining ethical are those who engage in it (or sell services to those who do). Otherwise it's in company with multi-level marketing, sub-prime debt trading and Scientology. - Evan

Evan If I didn't want the views I wouldn't have cross-posted to the 3 ALAC lists I'm on :) I am expecting and hoping to get views that will be both positive and negative. Regards Michele

Please report back on what you find. I would be particularly interested to read the positive comments from parties that are neither domainers nor service providers. - Evan
