Domainer Show – Episode 8

by 2 Comments

Ed and I return after concentrating on our DIWG (Domain Investor Working Group) roles over the past few weeks with Episode 8 of the Domainer Show!

We’re labelling today’s show a “hook” episode, in the way that we’re bound not to talk about certain subjects, yet somehow we manage to discuss them without really discussing them.

Today’s topics in order are as follows:

    • Massive changes to auDA Constitution and Membership Model (not an easy subject, but we struggle through!) (Starts at 0:50)
    • After 100 days since the Afilias .AU Domain Migration, and since 1-year registrations for domain names have been possible, TPP Wholesale have still not bothered to allow customers to choose this option. The bottom line is, TPP Wholesale are not giving people a choice and it seems unfair and frustrating to many. (Starts at 7:45)
    • What do you do when someone verbally agrees to sell you a domain name? But then… changes their mind, FOUR TIMES over FOUR DAYS?!?! (12:10)
    • We look at an ongoing auDRP case where it’s a clearcut example of a RDNH (Reverse Domain Name Hijacker) attempt on a one-word domain name… but the auDRP Panelist has just ruled IN FAVOUR of the Hijacker!! Case is ongoing and story is developing. (19:20)
    • We talk about, but don’t talk about how our Melbourne DIWG meeting went, from a few weeks ago. (33:45)
    • What is the Netpreneur Summit? It’s an online entrepreneur summit happening in Perth in a few weeks and Ed and Rob will be doing a live speaking event! Click HERE to buy your ticket! (36:00)

Domainer Show – Episode 7

We’ve got an amazing Domainer Show for you today!

How much guts does it take to whack down over $1.3 million AU on a three-letter .com domain name?

Plenty!

That’s how much Michael Gargiulo paid for VPN.com last year after years of negotiating on his own, followed by engaging a domain broker to take it over the line.

We asked Michael the steps he took to be able to build various businesses up to a point where he could land this dream domain name and then dominate his desired industry.

There’s not only so much great domain name purchasing advice in this episode, but tons of awesome business-start-up advice too!

In this week’s episode of the Domainer Show, Rob and Ed discuss the purpose of the very first ever Domain Investor Working Group (DIWG) and introduce the 8 members who have agreed to be a part of it.

There’s some very impressive and big-named professional Australian Domain Investor’s who are a part of this!

As previously mentioned on this site, the DIWG’s purpose is to provide specific feedback to The PRP (Policy Review Panel) in relation to the draft direct registration implementation policy, before the proposed model is released for broader public feedback.

The DIWG will all meet for the first time in-person in Melbourne in a few weeks.
