The domain industry has a trade association. It's called ICANN. On 24 January 2013 11:24, Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> wrote:

Outside of its thrice-yearly international meetings designed to bring all interested parties together, ICANN also holds smaller regional meetings targeted at the entities it has direct contracts with, the registrars and the registries.
The first such meeting of 2013 started today in Amsterdam and NetNames is a participant. Just before the start of the official ICANN agenda, Google initiated a fascinating side discussion by backing the idea of a trade association for domain names.
Amazingly, despite the fact that there are now upwards of 2.4 billion internet users and close to 250 million domain names serving as access points to the Web for those billions of users, there is no viable trade association for the domain name industry. So if this initiative focuses on enhancing the Internet user experience, it will no doubt be very welcome. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss
