Cabot.com: UDRP Panelist Made the Right Call

A UDRP was filed against the Cabot.com domain name at NAF. There are more than 1,000 companies with Cabot in their branding listed on LinkedIn alone and there are 46,000 people results. That alone should indicate the wide usage of the Cabot term. The Cabot I am most familiar with is a cheese company, and it was not the complainant here.

The complainant in the UDRP is Cabot Brand Co. Ltd. Just looking at that alone, I wouldn’t know which Cabot company is filing the UDRP. The domain registrant did not respond to the UDRP. Despite this, the UDRP was denied.

2024 Pan-Mass Challenge

On August 3-4, 2024, I will be riding in my 11th Pan-Mass Challenge ride to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber is a global leader in the fight against cancer, offering essential treatment and care to patients while spearheading some of the world’s most advanced cancer research. This year, the PMC will pass $1 billion in total funds raised for Dana-Farber.

When I started my fundraising in 2023, my cousin had recently been diagnosed with cancer. She was a patient at Dana-Farber, and after many months of treatment and surgeries, she is now cancer-free. A close friend of ours was just diagnosed with cancer, and she started her treatment plan a week ago. She will prevail. Sadly, Howard Neu recently passed away after battling cancer for 18 months. Cancer impacts all of us. 

John Berryhill will be joining me again for this year’s Pan-Mass Challenge ride and fundraising campaign. With the help of domain industry friends and colleagues, John and I have helped raise nearly $165,000 for Dana-Farber. Thank you!

John and I will soon share more information about sponsoring the special domain industry PMC jersey we will wear this year while we train and when we cross the finish line. In the meantime, if you would like to support my fundraiser with a donation in any amount, my fundraising page is here. You can also support John’s fundraising campaign. All of this year’s domain industry supporters are listed below and will continue to be added throughout the year.

Thank you to business friends and colleagues who have always generously supported our Pan-Mass Challenge fundraising. We appreciate you.

I just learned the valuable TP.com domain name was sold in February of this year. TP.com was listed for sale via Afternic with an asking price of $1.4 million. The domain name was sold for $1,200,000 via Afternic. The sale was reported to me by the seller, an industry colleague I have known for many years who wishes to not be named.

Although the Whois record for TP.com is private, the buyer of TP.com appears to be a company called Teleperformance. This company is publicly traded on the Paris Stock Exchange under the TEP ticker symbol. Teleperformance has a market capitalization approaching 5.7 Billion EUR. At the time of publication, TP.com is forwarding to the Teleperformance.com website.

EclipseGlasses.com: Strong Descriptive Domain Name Brand

This Monday, we are expected to witness a total solar eclipse – the last eclipse until 2044 that will be visible from the continental United States. I am headed up to Maine with friends for a day of skiing and an eclipse watch party at Sunday River.

To safely view the eclipse, I am going to buy a pair of eclipse glasses. I took a quick look at Amazon, and there are a ton of brands I’d never heard of, including a couple I couldn’t even pronounce (YDKOJGW, for example). In addition to the plethora of brands, it isn’t easy to know if the glasses are going to be protective. If I buy a pair of glasses that doesn’t protect my eyes, what is the point of even buying them?

GoDaddy Makes Another Payout Change

Now that April Fool’s Day has passed, I will skip to the end – this was an April Fool’s Day joke.

Following its payout policy change involving LTO deals at Dan.com and Afternic, GoDaddy is making another change to LTO payments.

First, some background. From inception at Dan.com, if a lease to own deal was started on the 2nd of the month, subsequent payouts would be made to sellers on the 2nd or 3rd of each month during the lease term. Once the money from the buyer was received, it was sent to the seller like clockwork. Following the payout change, payment plan distributions were moved to the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th of each month. If a payment plan was started on the 2nd of the month, subsequent payments would be sent days later on the 7th. If made on the 7th, payment would be sent on the 14th.
