Government Agency Drops NOAA.com Domain Name

Right of the Dot (ROTD), the company founded by Monte Cahn, will be hosting an auction featuring domain names and NFTs in a month from now. According to a press release that was distributed today, ROTD is now seeking submissions for the online auction. The auction will be held on February 24, 2022 on the HiBid.com auction platform.

For those who are interested in selling domain names via the auction, the ROTD website has information about submitting domain names for consideration.

I heard from others who had the same issues accessing auctions yesterday afternoon. Later on in the day, NameJet’s sister platform, SnapNames, posted an update about the issues on Twitter:
