DomainIncite Testimonials

“Always informative, thought-provoking and insightful (or should that be ‘inciteful’?). DomainIncite has quickly established itself as a must-read for those in the domain name industry and ICANN followers.” — Lesley Cowley, CEO, Nominet (.uk).

“Must-read… Kevin Murphy knows ICANN and internet policy inside and out. When it comes to new gTLDs and the ongoing battle over internet governance, Kevin definitely has you covered.” — Andrew Allemann, Editor, Domain Name Wire.

“As an existing registry operator we have often been on the receiving end of Kevin’s sharped eyed observations and canny ability to see directly through to exactly the relevant facts at hand… I have a lot of confidence in DomainIncite being of use to many ICANN watchers and would-be new gTLD applicants.” — Stuart Lawley, CEO, ICM Registry (.xxx)
