Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.
New TLD applicants -- especially those applying for "generic"
terms -- are losing a fight.
That fight is a very public one because it's a fight for a
fair shake in the press.
Exhibit A: yesterday's Washington Post article blasting Donuts,
the largest applicant for new TLDs.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BJy5R&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=P&
The article is based largely on allegations made by lawyer
Jeff Stoler.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BJy5r&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=f&
Stoler hasn't unveiled who he's representing and what his clients'
motives are, but you can bet it's a rival applicant.
The article quotes an FBI agent who compares some new TLD
applicants to...well, read it for yourself:
"I equate it with an apartment building, and the landlord lets
drug dealers and rapists move in," said FBI Supervisory Special
Agent Bobby Flaim, who has tracked plans to create new Web
domains for several years. "They're paying the rent, so
where's the problem?"
Wow.
You can blame new TLD applicants for the negative PR slant.
They're mostly leaving it up to ICANN to fight the fight for them.
I think there are a few reasons for this negative slant.
1. Lots of applicants want to remain quite. They don't want to
give competitors any ideas about what their plans are. They
don't want to be noticed at this point.
2. New TLD applicants haven't done a good job articulating
the benefits of new TLDs to consumers. They make vague claims
about phishing, fraud, and consumer choice.
3. No matter what a new TLD applicant says, people will question
their motives. After all, most "generic" new TLD applicants have
one key motive: make money.

Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.
Here's a rewind of the top five stories on Domain Name
Wire in August:
Oops, I entrusted my domain name to a tiny island nation! –
think about political and technical risks before
setting up your web site on a country code domain name.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BVjA6&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=F&
Wow: Craigslist loses Craigslists.com domain dispute –
so this guy creates a list, and his name is supposedly
Craig, and…it's kind of a funny story.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BVj6E&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=R&
Meet the woman who bought a domain name instead of
a house – entrepreneur plunked down cash for Posse.com.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BVj6B&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=r&
Sedo says domain parking continuing to decline, writes
off EUR 57.1 million – increased competition is a key
reason companies such as Sedo are seeing downward business
pressure in domain parking.
http://domainnamewire.net/click.html?x=a62b&lc=BVj6S&mc=BF&s=V0alB&y=l&
Your domain names are worth less than you think –
or, stop hating on other peoples' domains and put your
money where your mouth is.
