Today
in The
Lowdown: The Internet Commerce
Association, the non-profit organization that fights to protect domain owner's rights,
continues to add support for its mission from some of the most important players in the domain and Internet industries. The latest to line up alongside the ICA
is global tech leader Squarespace. The ICA is also now inviting nominations for its two major annual awards.
Also
inside: Fall is officially here and while temperatures have started dropping outside,
the heat is still on in the domain aftermarket. One of the 10 biggest publicly reported sales of the year to date leads the charge on our latest bi-weekly all-extension
Top 20 Sales Chart. We also saw the
year's biggest .io sale in one of the three transactions that reached six
figures.

How
a $3,000 Domain Sale Kept Larry Fischer in The Game and Led to a Legendary
Career Filled With Multi-Million Dollar Deals
|
Mild-mannered domain industry pioneer Larry
Fischer has played a key role in many of the biggest domain sales of all
time, including Chat.com at $15.5 million and Home.com at an
undisclosed price but also likely in the 8-figure range (both of those in tandem
with Larry's friend and fellow super broker Andrew Miller). There have
been countless others with Larry's primary partner, Ari Goldberger, as
well solo sales from his base at GetYourDomain.com. As
of this writing, Larry also has 2025's second highest publicly reported domain sale of the
year to date in Commerce.com at $2.2 million. So what
is it about this easy going, unassuming guy - a real world Clark Kent -
that turns him into Superman when it's time to close big sales? Full

Two
years ago a major gap in the global event
calendar was filled when the Middle East
and Africa region (MEA) was given a well
deserved place in the spotlight thanks to
the Domain
Days Dubai (DDD) conference
created by Munir Badr. DDD
proved to be a hit right out of the gate
with people coming from around the world for
outstanding events in 2023 and 2024. Now we
are just three weeks away from the 3rd
edition coming up October 22-23. While
the response to his first two shows was
extremely gratifying, Munir is all about
constantly growing and improving every
enterprise he in involved in. We connected
with him to find out what he has is store
for attendees this year. Full

The
2025 Domain Summit
conference that ran September 2 & 3
in London had an entirely new look
and a vastly expanded agenda compared
to the three previous editions of the event.
An all-star line of speakers was brought in
to give the programming a Euro-centric
focus. That was designed to position
this year's show as the first in a new
line of Summits to be held in different
regions around the world. The next one will
be Domain Summit Africa coming up in
February in Nairobi, Kenya with plans also
in the works for a 2027 conference in the
United States. Domain Summit Founder Helmuts
Meskonis credited three new global partners for making it
possible to adopt this worldwide vision and
kick it off with a re-imagined London event
that showed everyone what they can expect
going forward. Full
