Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

An "Un-Conference" - The 1st Domain Boardroom Funfest - Slated for Myrtle Beach in August

Our latest monthly newsletter is currently being sent out to several thousand opt-in email subscribers (it is also available online here). This month we take a look into how the new local and regional domain meetings popping up around the U.S. (and beyond) are helping fuel further growth in the domain  

industry. We used the first Rocky Mountain Domain Conference that was held Feb. 26, 2011 in Denver as a prime example.

The growth of special interest domain meetings is also growing beyond the local/regional category. Successful gatherings have been held for IDN enthusiasts, developers and fans of specific TLDs, etc. I recently got word of another event planned for this summer that will be centered around (but not limited to) members of Donna Mahony's popular private domain forum - DomainBoardroom.com

The first Domain Boardroom Funfest has been scheduled for August 5-8, 2011 in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Donna is getting a big assist with Funfest arrangements from Myrtle Beach resident Marcia Lynn Walker (both Donna and Marcia were featured in our February 2005 Cover Story).


Marcia said this event should actually be thought of as "un-conference" - no fees, no structured stuff -  just all networking with most all the meetings/parties onboard the beloved "pirate ship" that Marcia and her husband Warren own. They also plan to take people to a couple of local deserted, private islands for some of the festivities. With a membership roster that reads like an industry who's who, the Domain Boardroom event is shaping up to be one of the summer's highlights. 

One other note today - Sedo has announced an expansion of their SedoMLS beta program that opens the aftermarket sales platform's doors to domains with the .co (Colombia), .it (Italy) and .nl (Netherlands) extensions. SedoMLS is Sedo’s global instant-transfer domain sales network, which allows SedoPro members additional exposure for their names listed for sale. SedoPro members are encouraged to contact their account manager for more information on how they can become a part of the SedoMLS network.
