As ICANN continues its preparations for the next round of TLD applications, the organization is hiring to fill roles that will help with these new domain name extensions and applications.

Last week, ICANN posted a job opportunity on LinkedIn that might be of interest to someone who currently works in the domain name space. ICANN is looking to hire a GDD Services Manager. GDD is an acronym for ICANN’s for Global Domains Division. This role appears to be similar in nature to an account management role.

Here’s an excerpt about this position from the job post:

GoDaddy has been running a private auction featuring domain names from its NameFind portfolio. I have been following the auctions and bidding on a handful of domain names I like.

Yesterday, I won the auction for Molasses.com. As I shared on X, it was won, paid for, delivered, and a landing page was launched within a few hours. I want to share how I made that happen.

What Does Atom Say Your Most Valuable Domain Name Is?

Yesterday afternoon, Atom.com released its updated automated domain name appraisal tool. The tool is free to use and offers some insight into its value – as best as an automated appraisal tool may be able to do that. The company published a blog post to set expectations for the tool and how it can be used.

I spent a bit of time inputting my better domain names into the appraisal tool to see how it appraises higher value domain names. Although some of the appraisals were a bit light, some of them were higher than I expected. Perhaps I should raise some of their asking prices in alignment with the appraisal!

In addition to numeric values, the appraisal tool also highlighted some of the factors that contributed to the appraisal. The extension, number of alternative extensions registered, and number of developed domain names matching the keyword were all referenced. In addition, the tool provides some AI-generated guidance about what types of businesses would be a good fit for the domain name and what industries could make sense.

Liquidity Group, a company that is billed “as a leading AI-driven direct lender operating a multibillion-dollar portfolio globally,” made a significant domain name upgrade. Liquidity Group acquired the Liquidity.com domain name. It had been using LiquidityGroup.com for its web presence. The company appears to use the shorter “Liquidity” in much of its branding.

In a press release announcing the domain name acquisition and transition to Liquidity.com, it was shared that the domain name had a seven figure price tag. Unfortunately, the exact price of the domain name was not shared by the company so we will not see it listed in the sale charts maintained by DNJournal or NameBio.

Failed Transfers Aren’t Automatically Refunded

I keep most of my domain names registered at GoDaddy because I find it is easier to manage a portfolio at one registrar. Throughout the year as I acquire domain names at auction, my other registrar accounts grow. I have domain names at Network Solutions, Namecheap, Dynadot, NameBright, and probably a few other domain registrars.
