Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

Over the holidays I highlighted what I believe were
the top stories in the domain name industry in 2013.

Here they are, in no particular order:

A record number of RDNH filings - At least two dozen UDRP cases in 2013
were found to be reverse domain name hijacking. This is a record, and
there are a number of reasons why it happened.

GoDaddy acquires Afternic - there weren't many domain company acquisitions
in 2013, but one will have a big effect on the domain name aftermarket.

New TLD Objection problems - the high stakes game of new top level domain
name objections has turned into a disaster.

Demand Media to spin off domain business - While Demand Media's content
business faces setbacks, the domain business looks forward to an unencumbered future.

A new direction for GoDaddy - The world's largest domain name registrar
has a new CEO and a changing attitude. But it will take time for its
new attitude to take hold.

First new top level domain name contracts signed - "Finally". Said new
top level domain applicants. Everywhere.

The 2013 RAA - The new registrar accreditation agreement will have
effects that reverberate in the online community for years to come.
