Jacqueline Lipton and Rick Lane on the Sale of the .Org Domain Name
Arts Management and Technology Laboratory - A podcast by Arts Management and Technology Lab
In this episode, Alyssa and AMT-Lab Social Media & Marketing Manager, Mikayla Dimick, sit down with Jacqueline Lipton, Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh, and Rick Lane, the CEO of Iggy Ventures, LLC. Together they discuss the pending sale of the .org domain name and the level at which this will affect nonprofits. Note: when this episode was recorded in March 2020, approval from ICANN for the sale was still pending. However, on April 30th, 2020, ICANN officially rejected the .org sale to Ethos Capital. Even though the .org domains are no longer for sale, a dialogue to rebuilt trust and protection of .org domains has taken place and could pick up again at any time.
