		<description><![CDATA[On April 12, ICANN closed the TLD Application System (TAS) to ensure security of applicant data. For more than a month, the system outage has cost applicants and others millions of dollars. Here's how to make up for lost time and money. Donuts supported ICANN's decision to close TAS when it realized there was a data security risk. At a critical moment, ICANN made the right choice... However, now that staff has communicated to affected applicants (including Donuts) and is preparing to re-open the TAS system, efficiency has grown to become a crucial element of the process. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20120519_donuts_and_efficiency_ways_to_recover_time_money_lost_to_tas">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They say late converts are the most passionate believers. Until now I haven't supported the Expression of Interest (EOI) for new TLDs, the proposed mechanism to measure the number and type of likely applications. Not because it won't work (I think it'll work fine) but because I didn't think it was necessary. I've changed my mind. Here's why. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsswitching_on_the_light_expression_of_interest_tlds">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Domain Registry/Registrar Cross Ownership: A Reality Check (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Funny how marketplace reality can poke holes in claims and theories. A debate is raging between some existing registries (Afilias, PIR, Neustar) and registrars like ourselves over the issue of 'cross-ownership' in Top-Level Domains (TLDs). At question: should the same set of shareholders be allowed to own all or part of a registry as well as a registrar that sells names in the TLD owned by the registry? These registries are saying 'no', and one of their principal objections is they think current registrars have an unfair advantage in pursuing TLD deals. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20090830_registry_registrar_cross_ownership_a_reality_check">More...</a>]]></description>
