“Be prepared to hand me financial records, bank statements, etc. not just a statement of the parties involved”

You have a lot of nerve to make such a statement.

“MHB – IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) has those names not Verisign.”
===================

DNSMASQ has almost 100% Market Share and controls “those names” (as a consumer views them)

I have no more access to the financial records or bank statements for the .co registry, than I have to your financial records or bank statements.

I’m not active at all in “promoting” the extension just reporting on events and news

As a party in this game who seems to be very active in marketing the .co launch, I wouldn’t expect any other answer.

Be prepared to hand me financial records, bank statements, etc. not just a statement of the parties involved… They NEVER paid 350k for that domain that is only good as a URL shortener and never a replacement for the o.coM that they might still be hoping for…

I’ll take that bet.

As I said in the article I was slightly involved in the transaction and it did take place for $350K

I’ll bet 350k that Overstock did NOT pay more than 1k for that domain name, but agreed to this outrageous price to be announced publicly to help .co Marketing…

MHB – IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) has those names not Verisign. I think they work together, but it is the IANA group that actually has the L.ext names. (that is except the Q, X and Z.com domains, as well as few names like I.net, Q.net, X.org)

If you referring to this question you asked earlier:

Any idea how much is O.com?”

Its a reserved domains by Verisign the registry and if it were to ever go to auction my guess would be $5M +
