Fabulous and TRAFFIC Down Under Donating All Profits to ICA Posted: 04 Aug 2008 12:29 AM CDT DomainNameNews has learned that Fabulous.com and TRAFFIC will be announcing later today that they are donating all profits from the forthcoming TRAFFIC Down Under domain conference to the Internet Commerce Association (ICA). Fabulous seems to be putting together a show with a ton of activities and events for attendees in a beautiful location. It’s clear by this gesture that the company has not entered into the “conference business” to seek a profit from attendees and sponsors. Fabulous partnered with TRAFFIC conference operators Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu to put together this conference.  The Down Under event is scheduled to take place November 18th - 20th at the Sheraton Mirage Resort in Queensland, Australia.  Tickets for the show can be purchased at the TRAFFIC Down Under website.

Like all new product developments, we will be testing the NameJet platform with our own portfolio first. If the tests are successful we will be making this available to our third party partners such as yourself.

Just to re-iterate, initially only our own domains are included in this partnership, and any domains that you do not renew will go through the normal drop/delete cycle. Once we have more information about the possibility of releasing this to third parties, we will be sure to let you know. (c) 2008 DomainNameNews.com Visit our Calendar of Domain Industry Events.
