Domain Focus Pre-event for Acorn users.

[sedo]

Hi Everybody,

You have probably all seen the thread about the Domain Focus live auction on the 6th-7th September in London. We are currently considering the possiblilty of organising a get-together the evening before for any Acorn users who will be attending the DF auction, and would welcome any ideas from you as to what form the event could take. All (sensible) ideas are most welcome!

It might also be nice to hear if any of you are interested in attending the auction, and bidding on the excellent .uk names that are going to be under the hammer!

Best regards,

Shaun

p.s - I'll be on holiday until July 31st, but will do my best to check back with you all as often as I can.

When will the list of excellent names be published? Thx.

 

[Paullas]

all domains submitted will be here http://www.domainfocus.org/index.php?page=auction

 

[retired_member11]

Is that the definitive list and when is the cut off date after which no further names can be added? Thx.

"Reserve prices are allowed, but must be set at a reasonable level in conjunction with our brokers to maximize bidding activity."

How is this decided?

 

[Paullas]

if you email [email protected] she will answer any questions concering names for auction and any other questions you have.

And don't forget to look at the 'Domain Focus' thread that is at the top of the Sedo section of this forum.

large amount of generics NOT in sale...

hi sedo peeps

why not sell (or at least try to sell) some of the very large amount of generic one word DN's you have in your current listings, this would draw a bigger $/£ ratio for the NOT so very good names for the Focus Show

yes / no / maybe / we will ask the boss

Owners may not wish to 'commit'. The listings are open ended. I don't think Sedo will agree to high reserve prices at the auction.

Well, the silence is deafening in terms of suggestions for a pre-DF event for Acorn users. Does anyone have any ideas?

A couple of beers and some food - somewhere not too loud where networking can take place.

Plus someone ought to be on namebadge duty... matching up usernames > people!

cheers,

I agree, last time in that little room with the band a few feet away it was really hard hearing what people were saying

Hi Rob,

Sounds good - we would definitely do the namebadge thing, that came up as a suggestion in a meeting we had last week.

Where was the place with the too loud band? I haven't been at Sedo that long and wasn't around for that.

I am quite happy to help organise something - personally I think it would be best to sort something for the saturday as then it can be an overlap of domainfocus and acorn event so those in london for domainfocus are about, and those who cannot make DF can nip down for saturday?!

Drop me a pm / email if you need anything.

cheers,
rob.

7th/ 8th September?

What venue is in mind?

 

[sedo]

Hi,

Sorry I haven't replied for a while, I have just got back from my holiday in sunny Scunthorpe.

Any event for Acorn users would have to be the day before Domain Focus rather than after, as we Sedo employees have another engagement straight after DF.

We were thinking of something relatively small and informal, such as booking a table or two at a restaurant.

Rob - many thanks for your kind offer, I'll get back to you on that soon!

Greetings,

Shaun

So, how many of you would be interested? It would be nice to have a rough idea of the numbers.
