ICANN Makes Domain Investor Daniel Negari The Poster Boy For The New gTLD Program In Video Released Tonight

October 12, 2013 by Michael Berkens

ICANN has made Domain investor and new gTLD applicant Daniel Negari the poster boy for the new gTLD program in a video released by ICANN tonight on Twitter.

Why Dan?

Well at 27 years of age, he is the youngest applicant for a new gTLD with an uncontested application for XYZ.com and the winner of a  private auction for .College.

I have know Dan for a few years from the domain investor side and he is really smart, very successful. well spoken young man and has his act together at 27 more than most 40 year old’s do.

Regardless of whether you love or hate .XYZ, ICANN couldn’t have picked a better representative for the new gTLD program.

Congrats to Dan

Here is the video

Here is the tweet:

    A quote from the video –

    “Internet users should think about .COM, .NET, .XYZ. For me that will be the definition of success for .XYZ”

    Pretty high bar there.

    I don’t see it happening. There are going to be much better generic extensions that are available, and there are too many companies fighting for the same dollars.

    Congrats Dan! I’ve listened to your DomainSherpa interview and hope you’ll have success with your all new-gTLDs.

    Well done, Daniel seems credible, dedicated and honest. The video I am waiting to see next and the one that will have REAL impact is the multiple potential buyers explaining how excited they are to be able to buy this or that name and build their dream business upon it. Followed by the videos of john Q serving customers or counting his profits from his new GTLD based website.

    It’s just so hard to get away from thinking and writing .com, such as the sentence above “…with an uncontested application for XYZ.com and…”

    Daniel’s very smart to own the .com of the extension he’s going for and he’s probably already considering redirecting inadvertent typos such as cars.xyz.com to cars.xyz

    G/L with your venture Daniel.

    >>an uncontested application for XYZ.com

    I believe you mean .XYZ not XYZ.com. Long live .com!
