FYI-now we are talking about a truly serious endowment fund...


Jothan Frakes just posted on Facebook that the .Web last resort auction has 
concluded and that the gTLD sold for $135 million. The identity of the winning 
purchaser was not included.

If the report is correct, that means that the auction fund has just more than 
doubled to almost a quarter of a billion dollars, with its use yet to be 
determined by the ICANN community.
