		<description><![CDATA[The Domain Name System (DNS, aka Web 2) and Web3 platforms are two different naming systems available to internet users. While the DNS (Web2) has been a reliable and trusted internet standard for decades, Web3 platforms (such as ENS, Handshake and Unstoppable) are a relatively new technology deployment that presents unique and different features. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230427-a-brief-history-and-recent-developments-in-the-co-existence-of-web2-and-web3-domains">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Changes to the Domain Name Marketplace (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The new gTLD program and the introduction of 1200+ new domain name registries has significantly altered the marketplace dynamics. New domain name registries must navigate an environment that is, to an extent, stacked against them. This article recommends creation of some improvements and a general de-regulation of the marketplace to encourage innovation and promote its overall health. ICANN, or a combination of Registry Operators, should fund a brief, thorough study of the current marketplace because of the changes that have occurred from the original marketplace for which current regulations were developed. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20180312_changes_to_the_domain_name_marketplace">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20160803_why_registry_service_providers_should_be_accredited_by_icann</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The merits of a Registry Service Provider accreditation programs have been debated across the Domain Industry since the most recent round of Domain Name Registries were introduced starting in 2012. This post discusses the early reasoning in support of an accreditation program; changes in the policy considerations between 2012 and now; the effects of competition on the landscape; a suggestion for how such a program might be implemented; and why such a program should be introduced now. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20160803_why_registry_service_providers_should_be_accredited_by_icann">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Industry Association: An Implementation Model (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20140917_industry_association_an_implementation_model</link>
		<description><![CDATA[We read carefully Scott Hollenbeck's call to form a Domain Name Industry association to promote consistency in technical operations across the many moving parts of the industry and we, the Board and members of the Domain Name Association, largely agree. More formal coordination among registry operators and domain name registrars would improve the domain name registration experience for registrants and business operations for the domain name industry in general. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140917_industry_association_an_implementation_model">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, auctions are an unavoidable reality of the new Top-Level Domain (TLD) Program. By their very nature, they create winners and losers. All that is in doubt is where the money goes -- to the losing parties under a private auction model or to ICANN under their auction of last resort. There are pros and cons for both models. But what if there was another way? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140515_dna_auction_plan_to_reinvest_money_into_industry">More...</a>]]></description>
