I wasn’t a big fan of ICA at first because of some personal issues with one of the founders, that I feel we’ve resolved. The bottom line… these ICA FOUNDERS formed an organization to fight for the betterment of the domain industry.

For anyone who has made and is making big bucks in this industry to not give back by joining is pure arrogance and “we’ve made it, we don’t need you” attitude. Everyone on the list of domainer millionaires, and every single domain industry conglomerate who wants ALL OF US DOMAINERS TO BUY FROM THEM and participate in their moneymaking efforts should first SHOW US they’re supporting an organization that I believe it. I am a member, and it isn’t cheap. But guess what, this is my business.

Yun ye complaining? Oh please, that’s a smurf… his name points to Frank’s site. Frank is on the board of ICA.

I stand behind this post… if you’re making millions, or even over 100k a year selling domains or parking them, you NEED to be a member of ICA.

For those who use the angle that those members who haven’t supported the ICA yet are being “shamed”, tell the story exactly for all readers… they are in fact, being “shamed”. They should be ashamed. And most of these people are people I know. Maybe it’s an oversight, maybe the ICA is failing in contacting the right people to get the contributions.

I won’t point fingers to say those domainers and companies who’ve made millions and continue to do so don’t give a flying rat’s ass about the rest of us, or feel they’ve made enough to LOSE IT ALL because of some dumbshit congressional bill that passes and negatively affects us all, are just being greedy and selfish, and have short term expectations on this industry.

Domainers spend their life savings sometimes to invest in this business. We need a SINGLE ACTIVE ORGANIZATION to represent our interests. ICA i believe will and is doing this.

To post the names of individuals and companies who aren’t yet members is a ballsy but NEEDED wake up call to all domain industry players.

kudos to this post… I gave, and I’m not a millionaire, I make a decent living in domaining. The ICA will grow, but only with ALL OUR HELP.

I would like to make a more calm request for all domain companies and successful individuals, to support the ICA.

Some companies may not do it because they have bugs up their ass about some members on ICA, but I say, get over it. Put your money where your money source is protected.

peace please about all this… can’t we all just get along?

No this is not the case.

All names were checked with Michael BEFORE publication.

I would never publish such as list otherwise.

Those who gave and did not want there name published were accounting for and did not appear on the list at their request.

All others at the time of publication had not given a penny to the ICA.

You can write to ICA and do a donation without putting your name on the membership list.

Several people have done this.

You just have to write them:

We discussed their website in an earlier post, if you missed it, the additional features people want in the ICA site again depend on additional funding.

Or you can contribute your time to make improvements to the site if you are a programmer or web designer
