Chris started off by correcting some statements made by previous speakers (ouch). He didn’t have any slides prepared and thanked a number of people, including an individual that persuaded him to come to the conference as he wasn’t going to attend. In my view it was probably not the best start to a presentation to an audience of 200+ domainers. However, he did clarify a list of common misconceptions about domainers and auDA. Apparently auDA like domainers! I think I need a cuddle.
Following on, there were a number of interesting statements made under the banner of “we don’t like”. For example:
- shoes.com.au - we expect a shoe site.
- we don’t like mis-spellings
Registrars as a monetizer - not comfortable with that. “You should make a choice between being a registrar and a domainer is not acceptable in our world.”
auDA is thinking about publishing a list of drop names. One to keep an eye on.
