[Joly MacFie]

Two bits of good viewing..


*== iBreakfast 'Master of Your Domain" New TLDs conference ==*

Video from last week's new TLD event in NYC, which was mainly aimed at
corporations considering .brand type applications, is now archived on
YouTube.

There's a couple of segments missing at the end including some Q&A as I am
waiting on a transcription from Tony Kirsch from ausregistry. They'll be
added later in the week.

There's a brief summary here

Apart from Esther Dyson throwing icy water on the whole concept, the most
notable comment was Mike Davies from Verisign saying that they anticipate
1500 applications, 1000 of which will be for dot brands, and that it will be
3-5 years before the second round. Ken Hansen of Neustar said they are
offering to park TLDs for $10k/yr.

Edmon Chung of dot asia gave an excellent all round presentation.
