Name Intelligence and ICANN[edit | edit source]

In 2005, Jay Westerdal, CEO of Name Intelligence, wrote to ICANN president Paul Twomey and shared comments regarding the re-bidding process of the .net gTLD, Westerdall stated that "It is not an appropriate time to change the vendor servicing the .net gTLD without creating an adverse impact to what is currently a stable and predictable resource, and that it might be a more responsible, pragmatic, and appropriate course of action to reconsider the vendor at the next contact renewal option".[5]
