TRAFFIC Down Under will hold a charity auction of ten premium domain names with the revenue to be donated to the Internet Commerce Association (ICA), a non-profit advocate for the domain name industry.
The auction will benefit the ICA, a grass roots organization formed to ensure domain services and owners are robustly represented in areas of great risk and importance to the global domain community.
The ICA utilizes dues and contributions to enable activities related to legislative lobbying, regulatory representation, industry public relations, legal test case support, industry publication of statistics and reports, revenue research, and market intelligence. In order for the association to continue and expand its activities, it requires the support and participation from current members and the entire professional domain name community.
We are happy to announce that the top ten domains to be auctioned off are:
LanzaroteCanaryIslands.com – Kevin J. Sinclair
CityChicks.com – Anonymous
FreeRangeFoods.com – Howard Hoffman
AudioCabinets.net – Rick Latona
CarbBlockers.com – Fabulous.com
FranchiseCompany.com – Fabulous.com
BiometricReader.com – Fabulous.com
MovingCosts.com – Fabulous.com
DisplayUnit.com – Fabulous.com
BodybuildingProducts.com – Fabulous.com
These domains are to be auctioned without reserves at the conference Gala Dinner on the 19th November. Rick Latona Auctions has also committed to donate their expertise and time to manage the charity auction.
Elliot,
Might be wise to add a link to ICA and encourage other
domainers to donate. I feel ” Wee Domainers ” are going to need their lobbying pressure in the near future.
Thanks Ed – Michigan
(PS…Tell your wife “THANK-YOU” for sharing your time
with us domainers.
Are those really the “top 10” ?? if so… only thing I can say is WOW. Very weak! I don’t know that they will be able to raise more then a few thou unless somebody is feeling really generous that night or gets piss drunk:)
If anyone wants to bid on any of these domains and won’t be at show, you can pre-bid by sending an email with the domain(s) and your maximum bid to ICAAuction@trafficdownunder.com
Cheers,
