                              Note (2pm Jan. 4):
                              The ICA AMA event detailed below happened
                              earlier this afternoon and what we couldn't tell
                              you in the story was that a surprise was waiting
                              for Howard Neu during the live event when
                              he was honored with an ICA Lifetime Achievement
                              Award for his pivotal role in establishing the
                              global domain name community that exists
                              today. In addition to the great turnout for the
                              live event a video was played with with
                              congratulatory messages from many of the countless
                              friends Howard has made in the nearly 25 years he
                              has been in the industry. We are all in his debt. |  
                            | The
                              Internet Commerce Association's
                              2024
                              Annual Member Meeting gets underway
                              two week from today at Resorts World in Las
                              Vegas. As most of you know, the ICA is the
                              highly effective non-profit organization that fights
                              to defend domain owner's rights. Its members
                              include most of the leading companies, service
                              providers and individual investors in the domain
                              industry. These dedicated people have built an
                              invaluable community that, through their combined
                              efforts, has helped the domain business
                              progress from its early "Wild West" days
                              into a key player in the creation and
                              growth of online enterprises around the world. If
                              you are not already an ICA member I encourage you
                              to join
                              the team and become part of an extraordinary
                              professional community that will help you
                              reach your personal goals in this dynamic
                              industry.  The
                              ICA helps its members do this in a number of ways
                              including personal networking at their
                              annual meeting as well as other key industry
                              events like the annual NamesCon
                              conference. | 
 |  
                            | They
                              also have regular members-only live online
                              Ask Me Anything events that allow you to get
                              your questions answered by long-time pros who have
                              already been down a path you have just begun or
                              simply want to know more about. |  
                            | While the AMA events
                            have always been a benefit reserved for members, I
                            am happy to tell you that the ICA, ahead of its
                            annual meeting, is going to give everyone a
                            chance to see what they are all about by making the
                            next AMA available to members and non-members
                            alike. That is happening Thursday (January
                            4) at 12:30pm EST and I am even happier to
                            tell you that I will be joining my long-time friend,
                            domain attorney and pioneering TRAFFIC conference
                            Co-Founder Howard Neu, as guests on the show.
                            Members will get their usual email link to the event
                            while non members are invited to drop ICA Executive
                            Director Kamila Sekiewicz a note at [email protected]
                            so she can send you a link to watch.

                            | I
                            hope you will take this opportunity to see what
                            the ICA has to offer and ask any questions
                            you may have on any other domain business topics.
                            While I am a big believer in the "under
                            promise, over deliver" approach to business,
                            I'm confident this will be an especially memorable
                            session Thursday that you won't want to miss!  (Posted
