The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) will be hosting its third annual Levine Lecture on July 28th at 12pm EDT. This year, the online webinar event will feature experienced UDRP panelist Nick Gardner, who will be introduced by fellow UDRP panelist Tony Willoughby. According to UDRP.Tools, Mr. Gardner has been a panelist in nearly 600 UDRP cases.

Gardner’s presentation is entitled, “26 Years of Deciding UDRP Cases: What Does a Panelist Actually Do, and Why? How Will AI Change This?” The lecture should give attendees a look at how a UDRP panelist approaches domain name disputes and reaches a decision. I am interested in hearing about how Mr. Gardner believes AI will impact the UDRP, particularly as it relates to filings and responses that utilize AI.

Every once in a while, I look at the current contests going on at Atom.com. If I see one of interest, I will think about what domain names I own that might be good options for the contest. I’ll then sort and scan my listings to see if anything might fit. I think Atom’s AI can make it easier.

Pre-Check Premium Fit at Atom

I look at Atom as a platform people use to find brand names with matching domain names. Because of this, I lean towards listing brandable types of domain names on Atom. I figure someone looking for a creative brand name will use Atom and my inventory should be shown on related terms.

When I am assessing domain names to buy, one of the things I think about is where I would list it for sale along with the value to an end user buyer. I think of Atom for the brandable types of domain names I think would be a good fit with the platform, especially with a custom logo.

Set a December Reminder for Domain Name Follow-Ups

Yesterday, I was discussing an acquisition target with GoDaddy DBS Broker Jordan Cavanaugh. The company told Jordan it wasn’t interested in selling the domain name as it planned to use it. From what I can see, the domain name has been owned by the same company for many years and hasn’t been built. I suggested a follow-up in December to try and close a deal.

I think early to mid December can be a good time to follow-up with domain name owners when I am trying to buy a domain name. It can also be a good time to follow-up with prospective buyers who previously inquired about one of my domain names.

The ICA Meeting in Las Vegas is an event I do my best to attend each year. I always enjoy attending to catch up with friends and colleagues who visit from around the world. It’s a good way for me to get motivated as the year starts. There are panels and keynotes, but the networking is the primary reason I attend each year.

The 2027 meeting will take place at the Park MGM from January 25-27. Full event details are available on the ICA.Vegas event website. What grabbed my attention today is the ICA is polling its members about activities for the 2027 meeting.

2026 Pan-Mass Challenge

Last year, I rode my 12th Pan-Mass Challenge to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Seven of those years were with attorney John Berryhill. With help from colleagues, friends, and family, we have raised more than $200,000 to further the cancer fighting mission of Dana-Farber.

Truth be told, I was not planning to ride this year. I have a longstanding commitment with some friends during PMC weekend, and my family is traveling quite a bit this Summer so I wouldn’t get the miles in on my bicycle. When the January signup window passed without signing up, I regretted it but figured I would be back again next year.
