EURid Q1 Results Show Growth

May 5, 2020 by Michele Neylon

Eurid Logo

EURid, who operate the .eu ccTLD domain registry, have released their Q1 2020 report. The report covers the period up until the end of March 2020 (obviously), so it does not show the full impact of COVID-19 on domain registrations or renewals. The report for Q2 should make for interesting reading! So what does the report show for Q1? Registrations are up 15% compared … [Read more...] about EURid Q1 Results Show Growth

April 30, 2020 by Michele Neylon

Eurid Logo

EURid, who run the .eu domain name registry, have been having issues over the last few days which are the result of a number of denial of service attacks. The registry's services were degraded from the morning of Friday 24th April through until Monday. Services returned to normal, but unfortunately it looks like either the attackers have started up again or there is a … [Read more...] about EURid Registry Platform Under Attack

CENTR logo

CENTR has published their report covering domain names globally for Q4 2019. The overall picture is positive, with a 3% growth year on year. Within Europe growth rates were also up compared to the previous year, though they're still lower than the global growth rate (1.6% vs 3%).

ICANN and the Risk of Lobbying

April 28, 2020 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

The sale of .org was made public back in November of last year. ISOC probably thought that selling off PIR and the .org domain registry would be relatively simple and I sincerely doubt they expect the backlash that the announcement triggered. There have been thousands of articles written about the proposed sale. If you made the mistake of setting up an alert for mentions of … [Read more...] about ICANN and the Risk of Lobbying

ICANN Logo

Since ICANN woke up to the very large conflicts between its policies and contracts and privacy law there have been some groups that have been pushing for ICANN to find a swift resolution. One of the more vocal among them was the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), which is made up of representative of governments from around the world. Now, however, it's clear that … [Read more...] about ICANN’s Government Group Wants to Slow Whois Work

ICANN 68 Goes Virtual

April 9, 2020 by Michele Neylon

ICANN Logo

Under normal circumstances ICANN holds three public face to face meetings per year. This year, as we all know, is not a normal year and the circumstances are anything but normal. So I sincerely doubt anyone will be surprised that the next ICANN meeting will not be held "in person" but solely online. ICANN's Board met yesterday and made the decision that many had been … [Read more...] about ICANN 68 Goes Virtual

April 9, 2020 by Michele Neylon

RIPE NCC logo (2015 version)

The upcoming RIPE meeting was originally meant to be held in Berlin. Obviously with the ongoing pandemic that cannot happen, so they've decided to switch to a virtual meeting instead. However the virtual meeting will be an abridged version of the meeting, with only a small number of key sessions being held. The meeting will take place online from May 12th to May … [Read more...] about RIPE 80 Goes Virtual and FREE

April 7, 2020 by Michele Neylon

In what probably came as a surprise to many observers GoDaddy has announced that they are acquiring NeuStar's registry business. The announcement comes quite soon after the web giant's acquisition of Frank Schilling's Uniregistry registrar and marketplace. Both Neustar and GoDaddy made announcements about the acquisition last night. So what exactly have they … [Read more...] about GoDaddy Enters the Registry Business
