	<div class="entry-content">
		<p>Just to followup on the <a href="https://freespeech.com/2019/04/05/icann-threatens-to-restrict-participation-rights-of-critic-george-kirikos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">earlier blog post of today</a>, I received the following email from Keith Drazek (GNSO Council Chair),</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Mr. Kirikos,</p>
<p>Receipt of your letter is acknowledged.</p>
<p>We note and regret that you have elected to not accept and agree to abide by ICANN&#8217;s Expected Standards of Behavior (ESOB).</p>
<p>As such, per the notice provided in the Council Leadership Team’s letter of 29 March, you will be placed in observer status in the RPM PDP WG and any other GNSO-related forum until such time we receive the necessary communication confirming acceptance of the ESOB, or until such time the ICANN Ombuds rules that you may return to member status following any appeal.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Keith Drazek<br />
GNSO Chair (on behalf of the GNSO Council Leadership Team)</p></blockquote>
<p>So, unless I &#8220;bend the knee&#8221; and &#8220;swear an oath of fealty&#8221; (or unless the ICANN Ombudsman says I can return), I&#8217;m forever banished. Is that reasonable and proportionate?</p>
<p>And, this affects participation for <strong>all working groups</strong> (not just the RPM PDP), even though there&#8217;s no issue in the IGO PDP!</p>

	<div class="entry-content">
		<p>According to a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/202058/000020205824000168/hrs-20240927.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">financial filing today</a> by the seller of the Rocket.com domain name, L3Harris:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;For the quarter and three quarters ended September 27, 2024, includes $14 million of income net of related expenses from a domain name sale.&#8221; (page 29)</p></blockquote>
<p>Clearly, that is a reference to the Rocket.com domain name transaction.</p>
<p>While I continue to be &#8220;on strike&#8221; due to the <strong>ongoing and widespread parasitic &#8220;journalism&#8221;</strong> in the domain name industry, I&#8217;ll make an exception for this 8-figure transaction.</p>
<p>In my personal opinion, this domain name sold for far too little, and the seller should have negotiated a much higher transaction price, given the market cap of the buyer.</p>
<p>[NB: Like the Voice.com $30 million deal, this disclosure revealed the net proceeds received by the seller. The buyer may have paid more than $14 million (as it appears the seller paid commission expenses, i.e. the &#8220;net of related expenses&#8221; language above), but that value isn&#8217;t public as of this point. It might come to light in a filing by the buyer at some point, although this transaction would likely not be considered &#8220;material&#8221; to them, given their market cap.]</p>

There were 3 quite detailed PDFs in that submission (as there were other comment periods over the years), that many may not have read.</p>
<p>Using the NotebookLM AI tool I mentioned in an <a href="https://freespeech.com/2024/10/05/ai-generated-audio-podcast-about-icann-transfer-policy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earlier post today</a>, that generated an excellent podcast regarding domain name transfer policy, I figured I&#8217;d let the AI summarize my IGO-related submissions. The result is the embedded audio in this blog post. It did a fairly good job of explaining things at a high-level, <strong>although it missed an important detail, namely that IGOs are able to assert immunity when they&#8217;re the defendant, and thus the &#8220;role reversal&#8221; gives them a big advantage (especially if they&#8217;re no longer agreeing to the mutual jurisdiction clause)</strong>. I hope this piques the interest of those who&#8217;ve not followed this important issue, and causes them to dive deeper into the PDFs (which have more detailed arguments).</p>

After unlocking the domain, I went to Spaceship to begin the transfer out which required to copy an IPS tag into the domain’s record.</p>
<p>What is an IPS tag for domains, you may ask. It’s like a reverse authentication code: You get it from the registrar you move your .<a href="http://co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://co.uk&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1728234562712000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29MfxbJVpjNAIzyLE223lY">co.uk</a> domain to and provide it to the registrar where the domain sits at.</p>
<p>The moment the IPS tag was updated at eNom the domain was no longer there. It was an instant change of registrar! All I had to do next was complete the transfer at Spaceship by submitting the request. The domain appeared in my account, once again instantly.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s the kind of &#8220;push&#8221; system  for domain name transfers that I&#8217;ve been <a href="https://freespeech.com/2024/09/28/my-2024-submission-to-icann-regarding-transfer-policy-ahead-of-september-30-deadline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocating</a> for more than <a href="https://freespeech.com/2022/08/14/meditations-on-domain-name-transfers-final-call-for-comments-to-icann/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 years</a> at ICANN, for gTLD domain names like .com. <strong>It&#8217;s already in production.</strong> There&#8217;s <strong>no excuse now</strong> for ICANN not to adopt this, at least as a pilot project, for gTLD domain names.</p>

		<p><strong>Prepare to be blown away! </strong></p>
<p>As regular readers of this blog will be aware, I&#8217;ve written extensively about proposed changes to the ICANN Transfer Policy.  Last week, <a href="https://freespeech.com/2024/09/28/my-2024-submission-to-icann-regarding-transfer-policy-ahead-of-september-30-deadline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I blogged about my 2024 submission to ICANN</a>. It also mentioned my <a href="https://freespeech.com/2022/08/14/meditations-on-domain-name-transfers-final-call-for-comments-to-icann/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous extensive submissions in 2022</a>.</p>
<p>Today, I <a href="https://slashdot.org/story/24/10/05/0457222/people-are-using-google-study-software-to-make-ai-podcasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read about</a> an interesting AI tool created by Google called <a href="https://notebooklm.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NotebookLM</a> which is able to summarize documents and even <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/10/03/1104978/people-are-using-google-study-software-to-make-ai-podcasts-and-theyre-weird-and-amazing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create audio podcasts</a>. So, as an experiment, I uploaded my 2024 and 2022 ICANN submissions into NotebookLM, and here&#8217;s the result (7 minutes and 41 seconds in length).</p>
<audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-1403-2" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="https://freespeech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/NotebookLM-on-ICANN-Transfer-Policy-20241005.mp3?_=2" /><a href="https://freespeech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/NotebookLM-on-ICANN-Transfer-Policy-20241005.mp3">https://freespeech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/NotebookLM-on-ICANN-Transfer-Policy-20241005.mp3</a></audio>

		<p>ICANN has <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/initial-report-on-the-transfer-policy-review-01-08-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another public comment period</a> regarding transfer policy. The deadline to submit comments is <strong>Monday September 30, 2024 at 23:59 UTC time</strong>.</p>
<p>My company&#8217;s submission can be read <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/initial-report-on-the-transfer-policy-review-01-08-2024/submissions/leap-of-faith-financial-services-inc-29-09-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. I focused on the lack of consideration of a &#8220;push&#8221; system of transfers, and lack of overall consideration of registrants&#8217; input.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time that ICANN has asked for input on transfer policy. My company submitted <a href="https://freespeech.com/2022/08/14/meditations-on-domain-name-transfers-final-call-for-comments-to-icann/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">substantial comments in 2022</a> as well, which the captured working group, dominated by registrars, has <strong>not</strong> incorporated into its latest set of recommendations.</p>
<p>As this is likely the <strong>final opportunity</strong> to impact the working group&#8217;s final recommendations before they&#8217;re sent to the GNSO Council (despite being misleadingly labelled as an &#8220;<strong>Inital Report</strong>&#8220;, which I called out in my latest comments), <strong>now is the time to make a submission</strong> on this important topic which affects registrants.</p>
<p>Hopefully my company&#8217;s submission of today, and also from 2022, will help stimulate your own thinking, before you submit your own comments.</p>
<p>[For posterity and archival purposes, one can find a PDF version of my submitted comments <a href="https://freespeech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Initial-Report-on-the-Transfer-Policy-Review-29-09-2024-Leap-of-Faith-Financial-Services-Inc.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.]</p>

<p>Of course I had to think of a name, and &#8220;<strong>Domain Literati</strong>&#8221; seemed appropriate. Even the dot-com was available! Using ChatGPT, I generated a quick logo and and a landing page.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t expect that this will be a very active group, but if others want to read more, see what their peers are reading, or inspire others to read good books, it might be beneficial to join the group on GoodReads.</p>

		<p>From <strong>page 29</strong> of the A-MARK PRECIOUS METALS, INC.<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1591588/000095017024057222/amrk-20240331.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> SEC filing of today</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In March 2024, JMB acquired $8.5 million of intangible assets that included Gold.com&#8217;s domain name.</p></blockquote>
<p>Normally, given the widespread <strong>parasitic &#8220;journalism&#8221;</strong> in the domain name industry, I&#8217;d have kept this SEC filings research to myself. But, since it was widely known that gold.com had changed hands, it was trivial to setup a RSS feed for the SEC filing, to monitor the upcoming financial statements for this tidbit.</p>
<p>If one scrolls down to <strong>page 30</strong> of that same SEC filing, one will note that there&#8217;s an entry of <strong>$8,515,000 for &#8220;domain name&#8221;, which appears to correspond to the gold.com transaction.</strong></p>

	<div class="entry-content">
		<p>Happy Good Friday and Easter to those Christians who are celebrating their holiest days of the calendar this long weekend (Greek Orthodox Christians like myself will need to wait until May this year!).</p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve <a href="https://freespeech.com/2022/08/07/connect-com-domain-name-acquired-by-hubspot-for-10-million/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted before</a>, I don’t appreciate parasitic folks who are seeking to <strong>steal eyeballs and traffic for themselves, rather than simply retweeting the original posts</strong>! So, I continue to be “on strike” in relation to the substantial work I do (and continue to do, but not publicly report) to discover previously undocumented significant domain name transactions through financial statements. I expect those parasites will once again keep on trying to steal eyeballs and traffic for themselves, instead of simply retweeting the original research/tweets,  despite this statement.</p>
<p>That being said up front, today I noticed an interesting tweet/post on Twitter/X by <a href="https://twitter.com/jstenn13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Schoen</a>, that <a href="https://twitter.com/jstenn13/status/1773105440995360873" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he made on March 27, 2024</a> noting that the Shift.com domain name had changed hands in a bankruptcy auction.</p>
<p>It took me but a few moments to look up the <a href="https://cases.omniagentsolutions.com/documents?clientid=3678&amp;tagid=1281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">public docket</a> of that bankruptcy, which documents transactions for both the elite Shift.com and Fair.com domain names, that were overseen by Hilco Streambank. Given that these transactions were documented in public court filings, it&#8217;s unclear why Hilco Steambank didn&#8217;t simply report the numbers themselves, to save everyone <strong>(i.e. &#8220;everyone&#8221; meaning diligent folks like me, </strong>or rather,<strong> just me, since others didn&#8217;t actually put in the work to find this &#8211; I alone did!)</strong> some time and effort.</p>
<p>On page 3 of <a href="https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47491/ccfecbc8-ca4d-48da-9504-4efdc3269601_555.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Docket Entry #555</a> (filed March 25, 2024), (yes, I like to show my work and process, unlike <strong>low-life bottom-feeding parasites</strong> who simply show the results, and pretend that they found the numbers themselves!), it notes:</p>
<blockquote><p>A. The Shift.com domain name assets were acquired by Shift Canada for $1,365,000.00;</p></blockquote>
<p>and also that:</p>
<blockquote><p>B. The Fair.com Assets were acquired by Primera for $900,000;</p></blockquote>
<p>There were also some other lots that are of no interest to those reading this blog, who care about high value transactions. But, let&#8217;s dig even further. If we read <a href="https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47491/c444df3c-26d8-42ac-84ab-ecf3b067d779_445.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Docket Entry #445</a> (filed February 9, 2024), there&#8217;s a 200 page declaration which further documents the transactions. Exhibits B and C contain the full details of each transaction, via the executed asset purchase agreements.</p>
<p>The 74th and 75th page of the full PDF (i.e. Schedule  1.3 of Exhibit B) notes that there are additional domain names in the Shift.com transaction (e.g. Shift.co, Shift.cars, Shift.biz, etc.). There were also some social media accounts as part of the deal, as noted a few pages later.</p>
<p>DNJournal.com typically will <strong>not chart</strong> transactions of multiple domain names, given that one can&#8217;t technically attribute the <strong>entire</strong> value to just a single domain name. That was the case for the $9 million <a href="https://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2017/20170419.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shoes.com domain name,</a> which <a href="https://loffs.org/walmart-shoes-dot-com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I documented in April 2017</a>. But, we <strong>know</strong> that the buyer was ultimately <strong>forced to buy everything</strong> (since the bankruptcy auction is structured as lots), and that it was ultimately just after the Shift.com domain name. Most of the rest is of negligible value, or even a liability, rather than an asset (many of those minor domain names should be dropped, as they&#8217;re not worth the renewal costs!).</p>
<p>Similarly, for Fair.com,  the list of other domain names included as part of the transaction can be seen in Schedule 1.3 of Exhibit C, on the 106th page of the full PDF, with such &#8220;gems&#8221; as Fair.fyi and Fair.fail (LOL!). Similarly, a few pages later notes there&#8217;s a Twitter account included too.</p>
<p>My comments above in relation to the Shift.com deal would also apply to the Fair.com transaction. We <strong>know</strong> that the buyer was ultimately <strong>forced to buy everything</strong> (since it was structured in lots), and that it was ultimately just after the Fair.com domain name.</p>
<p><strong>In conclusion, I would attribute 100% of the two transactions to just the main domain names involved. Thus, as per the headline, I would argue that Shift.com was acquired for $1,365,000 and that Fair.com was acquired for $900,000.</strong></p>
<p><strong>BONUS CONTENT</strong>:</p>
<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! In July 2020, I uncovered the fact that the Shift.c0m domain name was acquired for $385,000 in December 2015:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">From page F-44 of a recent SEC filing:<a href="https://t.co/wNIHMYaiYh">https://t.co/wNIHMYaiYh</a></p>
<p>they have a domain name which cost $385,000. Presumably that&#39;s their shift(.)com domain name.</p>
<p>Using <a href="https://twitter.com/DomainTools?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DomainTools</a> WHOIS history, they appear to have acquired it via <a href="https://twitter.com/markmonitor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@markmonitor</a>&#39;s stealth DNStination in Dec 2015.</p>
<p>&mdash; George Kirikos (@GeorgeKirikos) <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgeKirikos/status/1284451381374574592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 18, 2020</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>This bankruptcy auction is a reminder that <strong>elite domain names are assets</strong>. Even if a business fails, these assets can be liquidated, <strong><span class="r-b88u0q">sometimes even for more than they were acquired</span></strong>.</p>
