Re: [At-Large] Fwd: ALAC Draft Statement :: Domain Monetization
I'm worried we will end up in the same situation as SPAM... It will be too late to do anything meaningful...
May be the requirement that DNS/Web page should be up for each domain, should no exists. May be domain monetisation should be recognised and that you could reserve a domain under this scheme, where the DNS would say, domain reserved to, but not used... may be it would also help in checking the domain validities with mail...
Don't know, it is late, could be some real wild ideas?
Cheers

Domain Monetization is essentially a legal business and it is not at
all clear that regulating it is within the purview of ICANN. That
certainly does not mean that it has (or hasn't) socially redeeming
redeeming reasons for existing. But that can be said of many thriving
businesses.
It would seem to me that if DM is to die, it will be for business
reasons and not due to regulation.
That being said, *I* find it a pain to deal with. I am tired of going
to Google or other search engines and finding that the first screen
is mostly monetization sites instead of real meat. Perhaps one day
this kind of consumer discontent will force some action on the part
of the business community. But as long as people click on these
pointers, the business will likely thrive.
