Comments on: Enron and Domain Names http://domainnamewire.com/2007/10/15/enron-and-domain-names/ News and Views for the Domain Name Industry Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:30:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Claude Gelinas http://domainnamewire.com/2007/10/15/enron-and-domain-names/comment-page-1/#comment-98485 Claude Gelinas Tue, 16 Oct 2007 14:18:03 +0000 http://domainnamewire.com/2007/10/15/enron-and-domain-names/#comment-98485 This might be a tad off-topic but I always feel somewhat uneasy when I read about people attempting to slap a "dot com" after anything related to "selling water". H2O being the source of life on Earth, selling it seems opportunistic, at best and downright sinister, at worst. Water shouldn't be traded — it should be preserved, treated and made freely available. In France, with la Société nationale des eaux, the wealthy are growing "insanely rich" while access to water (not to mention affordability) is at an all time low. Following the trend of general sleaze going on at Enron, it makes sense that they fancied about trading water... and probably end up selling it. Oh well, just my 2 cents ; ) This might be a tad off-topic but I always feel somewhat uneasy when I read about people attempting to slap a “dot com” after anything related to “selling water”.

Exactly...I read the same story about the same time on Friday. Peace! Dan “”You never know where you’ll come across a story about domain names and their importance.”"

The internet does not work Monday to Friday only. But the names should have been registered in Azurix' name, with Mark or some other designated employee as the contact. As you point out, companies should have written procedures for these things. I agree that they should have registered the domain names immediately, rather than waiting until Monday.
