The New York Post published a real estate article that caught my attention. The article discussed an upcoming online auction of 130 acres of undeveloped land in Malibu, California. The land is owned by none other than domain industry veteran, Frank Schilling.

According to the article, the 130 acres of land is divided amongst three parcels. The buyer would be able to build one large home on the land or subdivide for multiple single family homes. It looks like an enviable location for someone looking for a large lot of developable land on the California coast.

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?

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:
