The ICANN 79 Community Forum Meeting is coming up in a couple of weeks. The meeting will be held in Puerto Rico from March 2-7, 2024.

From what I understand, the Community Forum meetings are usually the most well attended ICANN meetings of the year. I went to the ICANN meeting in Barcelona several years ago, and it was a great chance to connect with some domain industry friends.

I will be away on a ski trip, so this ICANN meeting is not in the cards for me. If it weren’t for the vacation, I would be going to Puerto Rico for ICANN. The mountains are calling though.

Are you going to the ICANN meeting in Puerto Rico?

When looking at domain investor Twitter, I’ve noticed a few promoted/advertising tweets mentioning Rob Schutz and/or Snagged.com. I recently wrote about Rob and his domain name brokerage after seeing a tweet from Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian recommending Snagged.com.

Yesterday on X (formerly Twitter), the corporate XBusiness account mentioned the successful Ads campaign run by Snagged.com:

Last Summer, NameJet made some “big changes” to its platform. In essence, NameJet appears to have become a clone of Snapnames, its sister auction platform, with the difference being the NameJet branding.

There were numerous features about the former platform I appreciated more once they were taken away. It looks like NameJet has made a change to address some of these issues. I have not had the opportunity to look into any of these, but I think this will take away some of the speed bumps I now encounter on the platform.

Here are some of the changes that were announced today:

Finalize a Deal by Connecting on LinkedIn

When I agree to a negotiated deal on a platform like Dan or Sedo, I have always held the expectation that the payment will be made ASAP. If a buyer did not pay within a couple of days – maybe a day or two longer if it was a large sale – I would ask Dan to cancel the transaction. Perhaps I should be more forgiving.

Within the past couple of months, I have dealt with two counterparties that didn’t pay immediately. Subsequent payment reminders appeared to have gone unanswered. Because communications between buyer and seller cease once a deal is reached, I couldn’t communicate directly with the buyers on the platform. Instead of asking Dan.com to cancel the deals, I connected with these people on LinkedIn.
