This afternoon, I learned about the launch of a new registrar and marketplace brand called Taku – using Taku.com. The brand was launched by GMO Internet Group, a company that is traded publicly on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which operates other brands that primarily operate in Asia.
The thing that caught my attention with this launch is the numerous industry veterans that have been hired in advance of the launch. Christian Voss, Claus Barche, Birgit Berger, Frank Michlick and Michael Piotrowski have spent years working in various roles at well-known domain industry companies.
