Need Advise: Tokenization of Domain Names
by gopal Sept. 30, 2023

Sept. 30, 2023

Dear All, Domain names have been a valuable asset for nearly 50 years. However, the lack of liquidity has been a challenge for domain owners. Tokenization could provide a solution to this liquidity issue. By tokenizing domain assets, owners can sell off interests in their domains, building liquidity from assets that would otherwise remain idle. Need advise on ICANN Remit pertaining to new crypto-themed top-level domains which could potentially increase the value and liquidity of domain assets. As a matter of fact, IDN can very well serve as a crypt of a tokenized domain name. Please advise. Sincerely, Gopal T V 0 9840121302 https://vidwan.inflibnet.ac.in/profile/57545 https://www.facebook.com/gopal.tadepalli ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dr. T V Gopal Professor Department of Computer Science and Engineering College of Engineering Anna University Chennai - 600 025, INDIA Ph : (Off) 22351723 Extn. 3340 (Res) 24454753 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The MEAC gTLDs markets (why wait until next year?)
by John McCormac Sept. 15, 2023

Sept. 15, 2023

I've crunched some data on all gTLDs, their websites and where they are hosted (all countries). ICANN has put out an RFP for a new Middle East and Adjacent Markets report with the draft report to be delivered next year. The RFP is full of wonderful aspirations. So, rather than waiting until next year for what will obviously be a fascinating report, here's a breakdown of the gTLDS in ICANN MEAC markets countries: Country All gTLDs Local External Sites (IP) United Arab Emirates 40,150 2,028 17,685 8,033 Afghanistan 44,622 1 35,455 94 Bahrain 421 3 31 224 Algeria 9,120 799 7,745 1,459 Egypt 8,766 2,552 4,053 4,604 Iraq 228 26 142 452 Iran, Islamic Republic of 266,301 113,123 47,320 338,675 Jordan 2,629 495 210 1,510 Kuwait 2,157 214 1,300 1,162 Lebanon 2,152 861 634 2,503 Libya 3,070 17 2,605 423 Morocco 37,003 7,845 13,962 9,245 Mauritania 13 0 1 8 Oman 1,045 119 679 535 Pakistan 64,298 1,368 54,319 8,355 Palestine, State of 590 387 86 1,179 Saudi Arabia 7,641 1,472 4,313 4,844 Somalia 234 0 197 276 Syrian Arab Republic 869 424 315 751 Tunisia 3,978 2,191 635 3,225 Turkey 1,432,750 1,023,052 84,765 1,280,958 Yemen 0 0 0 174 Totals 1,928,037 1,156,977 276,452 1,668,689 The All gTLD figure is the number of unique gTLD domain names hosted on identified registrars and resellers associated with the country. The Local figure is the number of gTLD domain names with websites hosted in the country. The External figure is the number of gTLD domain names with websites hosted outside of the country. The Sites (IP) figure is the number of gTLD websites identified on IP addresses associated with the country. It is based on identified registrars and resellers associated with countries. Most registrars and and resellers tend to be highly localised. The spreadsheet looks a lot better so apologies for the formatting. I haven't run a Web Usage study on the websites yet.

Summary of the last GNSO-TRT meeting
by Lutz Donnerhacke Sept. 15, 2023

Sept. 15, 2023

There are three major topics in the discussion yesterday: --- BEGIN OF SUMMARY --- Full Portfolio Transfers (Bulk Transfers): - Preliminary Agreement #1: Registry Operators MAY charge a fee for transferring full domain portfolios, with the option to waive fees in specific cases. - Concept 4: Ensures fees for full portfolio transfers involving multiple registries don't exceed a recommended ceiling, with fees distributed based on the number of domain names. Change of Sponsorship (Partial Bulk Transfers): - Preliminary Agreement #1: Registrars must notify affected registrants at least 30 days before a change of sponsorship, providing details like the change date, Gaining Registrar's name, and terms of service. - Preliminary Agreement #4: Registrants' existing Registration Agreements should allow transfers during a change of sponsorship, and registrants must confirm agreement with new terms before the transfer. Additional Discussions: - Consideration of replacing specific fee numbers with a flexible "reasonable fee" in policy language. - Debate on the relevance of a minimum threshold (e.g., 50,000 domain names) for fees. - Emphasis on clear language and use of "MAY" in fee-related policies. - Recognition of the need for project management representation and potential ICANN Org involvement in fee administration. --- END OF SUMMARY --- As a background, the current policy has a very simple fee: - Bulk transfers with less than n 50k domains = No fee - Bulk transfers with more than n 50k domains = 50k US$ flat >From the end user perspective there is only one notable point: - Registrants need to be informed about the change of the registrar (via reseller) beforehand. - Registrants need to accept the legal rules of the new registrar. For me there is only one point of interest: If "voluntary bulk transfers" are combined with "ICANN approved bulk transfers" into a single policy, the financial benefits and organisational simplifications of the "ICANN approved transfers" may be extended to ordinary, commercial activities. This may bring ICANN into the position of an omnipresent mediator, which is paying for the commercial gambling of the registrars and resellers.
