"Rick Schwartz: In an economy like this, marginal domains will be the ones that will suffer the most. The majority of the domains I see, are just plain worthless. In times like these folks get more choosey. But they don’t stop buying. I think the market is still expanding. New investors are always coming in and some are coming in with deeper pockets and looking for a new area to invest in.

The GNSO Council is considering the issue of "domain tasting", a term used to describe the case when someone registers a domain name and then tests to see if the name has sufficient traffic to provide more income than the annual registration fee (usually through pay-per-click advertising). If the name is deemed sufficiently profitable, it is kept.
The GNSO Council approved a resolution to recommend to the Board a modification of the ICANN bylaws that would permit electronic absentee voting in certain circumstances in order to allow Council members who are absent from Council meetings to vote.
Currently, a member of the Council is unable to vote on an issue when absent from the Council meeting at which the vote occurs. The Council found that this not only disenfranchises members from opportunities to vote, but also, disenfranchises the constituencies they represent.

Last Saturday marked the deadline that Microsoft imposed on Yahoo several weeks ago to accept its buyout offer or Microsoft would launch a hostile take over. Microsoft declared it would launch a proxy fight to oust Yahoo’s board or walk away from the deal if the two failed to reach an agreement by April 26. Today, Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that he was prepared to walk away from his attempt to buy Yahoo if his other options don’t look good. Ballmer made his comments during a regularly scheduled town hall meeting with employees, during which workers questioned him about Microsoft’s pursuit of Yahoo.
