The October NARALO monthly call had to be cancelled due to conflicts with ICANN 69. We'll return to our regular schedule on November 9, 2020. Lots of health to all of you. -ed On Thu, Oct 1, 2020 at 8:21 AM Eduardo Diaz <eduardodiazrivera@gmail.com> wrote:

Evan Leibovitch will introduce the concept of domaining and offer perspectives on the practices' effects on registrants, business innovation, ICANN and the domain name system. He warns participants that this presentation's approach to domaining will be akin to a vegan's description of an abattoir; registrants will be offered advice on how to circumvent domainers in getting a useful domain name.

[image: image.png] In our October 2020 meeting we had the opportunity to hear the concept of domaining defined and explained from an end-user perspective. This time we have Zak Muscovitch and Nat Cohen presenting the same concept but from the business perspective. Sinopsis: *"Domain Names are naturally a scarce commodity since they are each necessarily unique. Some domain names rightfully belong to corresponding well-known brand owners, but others are generic terms and are registered on a ‘first come, first served basis’. The market efficiently sets the price for these inherently valuable Domain Names. Investable domain names represent a small fraction of all registered domain names and investors are but one player in a global domain aftermarket. Who domain name investors are might surprise you. This talk by NARALO Members Nat Cohen (Director, Internet Commerce Association) and Zak Muscovitch (General Counsel, Internet Commerce Association), will explain the secondary market, the participants, and the benefits and necessity of the secondary market to all stakeholders."* Add the event to Google Calendar HERE <http://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20201214T200000Z%...>.
