The Domain Name Association (DNA) is described as a “new non-profit global business association that represents the interests of the domain name industry.” Major companies like Demand Media, Donuts, GoDaddy, Google, and Amazon are listed as members of the DNA. I think it’s great that a major trade organization exists to promote domain names and the domain name industry.
The mission statement of the organization seems to be fairly broad:
Last week, I was working on a deal transacted at Escrow.com, and I reached out to Andee Hill for an update. Shortly after sending my email, I learned that Andee was no longer working at the company. This morning, there was a press release to announce that Andee and Gregg McNair have teamed up to establish an escrow services company called EscrowHill.com.
Whenever I’ve needed something or had an issue at Escrow.com, Andee has always been able to provide assistance. Andee worked at Escrow.com since 1999, most recently as Director of Business Development. Based on the press release I received, it appears the company’s focus will be on

According to a tweet from Mike Mann this afternoon, Mike is going to be the new host of the Domain Masters radio show on Webmaster Radio. If you aren’t familiar, Webmaster Radio is the largest online radio network dedicated to the B2B marketplace, and it has a wide range of programming, including a show exclusively about domain names called Domain Masters.
Domain Masters was started in December of 2004, and its broadcasts featured some of the most successful domain investors and domain industry experts like John Berryhill, Richard Lau, Ari Goldberger, Ron Jackson, Mark Ostrovsky, and many others. The show was regularly hosted by Monte Cahn for several years, and then Victor Pitts followed as the host. The radio show stopped its regular broadcasts in March of 2013, but according to Mike,
You may have noticed a new website feed on Domaining.com last week.

For the past four years, Ken Hansen has been Senior Director of Business Development, GM, ,nyc at Neustar. In that role, he has been working to promote the .NYC registry, which has the backing of New York City. I just learned that Ken is leaving Neustar to become CEO of the co.com Registry, a recently formed venture that will offer .co.com domain names.
