That represents a commitment of $10,000-$25,000 annually in support of ICA's work to better secure the rights of domain registrants and other participants in the domain name industry and to advocate for policies that will allow the domain name industry to continue to thrive and to innovate.

ICA President Jeremiah Johnston noted, “The domain investment industry has long enjoyed a positive relationship with Afternic. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our founding this month, we are delighted to have earned the support and input of such major industry player.”

Afternic Chief Revenue Officer Bob Mountain added, “Our support for ICA is based upon its long and successful record of advocating for the interests of domain investors and ordinary registrants in both Washington and ICANN. In addition, recent portfolio acquisitions have increased our interest in working for equitable and investment-friendly domain policies, and we look forward to engaging with ICA to develop and advance them.”

The ICA will mark its 10th anniversary by joining DomainSponsor in co-sponsoring the opening night Welcome Party at THE Domain Conference (TDC) that gets underway at 7pm Sunday (September 11) at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In addition to giving current ICA members a place to commemorate the occasion, it will give all TDC attendees a chance to learn more about the ICA and the various membership options that make it affordable for any industry professional to join and have a positive impact on the future our business.
