Under COVID pressure, info providers choose QR codes over domain names
by Evan Leibovitch Sept. 7, 2020

Sept. 7, 2020

https://www.campaignlive.com/article/why-humble-qr-code-enjoying-marketing-… No surprise to some of us. BTW, is anyone in ALAC -- or the broader community -- checking whether the average price of resale domains is going up or down? Hard to believe it's going up. With all the new gTLDs onboard, is domaining still seen as a worthwhile investment? Was it ever? Over the last few years I've been involved with numerous domain name acquisitions by companies and individuals. A number of patterns have emerged. In almost every case: - The dozen most logical names were taken by squatters and otherwise unused. - The would-be registrant did not buy any of the squatted names. - In some cases they enquired about the price, which was often more than an order of magnitude beyond what they were willing to pay, and they had a good laugh. - In some cases their choice to bypass the squatted name would ensure that the name would forever stay unsold. They had registrations and/or trademarks that would immediately have any subsequent buyer subject to a UDRP complaint. - Nobody even made an effort to negotiate the price down, determined to be not worth the bother - There's no fear anymore using hyphens within domain names. The introduction of hyphens always yields a usable registry-fresh domain. This discovery usually increases the entertainment value of the original squatter's price. I've always had the opinion that domain resale was a massive scam, and that the practise was long-term harmful to ICANN and broader use of domains as identification. Indeed the practise of one of the few that extracts value from (rather than add value to) the Internet. Furthermore, it has led to many of the most potentially-useful names being unused. As a result, "memorable" Internet domains have slipped from "need to have" to "nice to have" to "I'll take anything moderately close because it's not a primary source of identification". I look forward to the day when domainer portfolios inevitably achieve the same value as postage-stamp collections have now. Evan Leibovitch, Toronto Canada @evanleibovitch / @el56

Fwd: [ALAC] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report

FYI. -ed ---0--- [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report <https://newsalerts.icann.org/m000Nl20002d1Pg8RXZ0CE0>* 20 August 2020 *Open Date:* 20 August 2020 *Close Date:* 30 September 2020 *Originating Organization:* GNSO *Categories/Tags:* Policy Development *Brief Overview:* The objective of this Public Comment period is to share the Working Group's draft Final Report and present draft final recommendations and implementation guidance on topics within the Working Group's charter. The draft recommendations and implementation guidance included in this report are the culmination of years of Working Group deliberations and community input that take into account input received through a number of Public Comment periods, including a survey of existing Stakeholder Group / Constituency / Advisory Committee statements from the 2012 round of new gTLDs, a set of dozens of initial questions aimed at getting input on the processes and results of the 2012 new gTLD round, as well as comments on the Working Group's Initial Report and Supplemental Initial Reports. Given that some of the recommendations have been substantively updated since these earlier reports, this draft Final Report is being published for an additional Public Comment period. While the full report is open for comment, the Working Group would like input to focus on areas that have substantively changed since publication of the Initial Report and Supplemental Initial Report and in limited instances, questions that the Working Group has posed to the community for feedback. *Link:* https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-draft-final-… <https://newsalerts.icann.org/E0d0C0gAR980N02E2100P02> *About ICANN* ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet.

About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique, so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
