EURid blocks 10,000 .EU Domain Names 2007-08-28 16:02:36
A large number of .EU domain names registered by a single owner (Zheng Qingyin) have been blocked by EURid. The .EU registry has doubts over the owner’s eligibility as a European citizen.
European Commission rules clearly state that only companies/individuals based in EU can get a .EU domain name. If these rules are broken, EURid has the right to block or even cancel the offending domain names.
Rather than take the extreme measure of deleting the names outright, EURid then turned to the courts, asking for clarification of the registrant’s .EU eligibility.
Zheng Qingyin responded by asking the courts to force EURid to lift the block on her domain names.
This legal stalemate should end in September, when the courts are scheduled to make their decision. If EURid wins, the domain names may then be deleted and become available for registration again.

Hidden Wealth in Domain Names 2007-08-23 17:53:42 Ecommerce Times article on investing in domain names:
How to draw the advertising industry into the secondary market for domain names is preoccupying the domain name industry this year. Domain industry convocations have been grappling with the issue, seeing it as providing an opportunity for the secondary market to scale up and achieve sustained profitability and liquidity.
The most recent major conference was the Domain Roundtable Conference, hosted in Seattle by Name Intelligence Aug. 13-15. The Seattle conference highlighted the importance of the issue, and presented contrasting perspectives on why traditional advertising firms have largely stayed away from secondary markets for domain names.
