Thanks to Andrew for this opportunity to blog about what ICA has been up to so far this year – while he takes a well-deserved vacation. Domain Name Wire is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the domain game and he deserves broad appreciation for his consistent, high quality work.

2010 has been a very active year for the ICA — once it got past the threshold issue of whether it would survive! Quoting Mark Twain, reports of its death were “greatly exaggerated”. Thanks are due to leading domain industry companies and individuals for their generous continuing support that sustains my work on behalf of domainers.

Here’s a “capsule summary” of ICA’s activities in 2010, as well as a look at some big issues looming ahead. ICA remains the only trade group speaking out on domain industry issues within ICANN and in Washington, DC. (Note: Even a cursory summary of our work this year runs several pages, so you may just wish to scroll through and focus on those issues of most concern to you)

Here is given the capsule summary,
