I haven't checked the list of the ICE Seized Domain list for a little while, since I wasn't around a computer much in the month of December but today when I checked it… it was interesting to see a couple domains added to it with ccTLD domains of Ukraine and Saint Helena! Until now, the TLD's

The World Cup soccer event that will be held in Russia in 2018 is almost 7 years in the future but that didn't stop 3 bidders from fighting for Russia2018.com at a domain name auction at Sedo.com in early December . The bidding process for the 2018 & 2022 World Cup officially began in March 2009

Sedo.com has added a "Domain Auctions" link to its homepage! This may not seem like that big of a deal, but I think it is! It was a pure pain in the ass to get to the auctions page after Sedo redesigned its site several months ago and for people who have never visited before

I have watched "insurance" domain names continue selling like hot cakes for several months and really all of 2010! 2009 they did the same thing!
