Jay
Westerdal
has
set up a new website at niholdings.com
to post developments as they happen in the ongoing high
profile lawsuit
filed by Thought Convergence against Westerdal |
and
other shareholders in his former company, Name
Intelligence, Inc. The site includes a timeline of
events since Thought Convergence agreed to buy Name
Intelligence (parent company of DomainTools.com and
the Domain Roundtable conference, among other
enterprises) in May of 2008 for $16 million. The
relationship eventually went sour with Thought Convergence
firing Westerdal and filing the lawsuit in a California
federal court. Westerdal's site also has links to various
news reports covering the dispute.
Westerdal
said "This website serves to answer questions and
will be updated frequently. Sort of a no spin zone because
we will only quote public domain documents." A notice
on the site says "We
|

have
been flooded by emails and questions about what is going
on with our company. So we thought we would set the record
straight and post links to all articles related to
the the case and let people make up their own mind.
We would like to share with the world what is going on and
help people understand the matter from Name
Intelligence, Inc. point of view. We will not be
allowed to share information unless it is public.
Likewise, false allegation or pure lies will be
responded to legally first. We are deeply sorry we can't
just respond to false statements but this has to be done
legally. Once the documents are in the public domain with
our answers we will post them or quote them. All
information found on this website is already in the public
domain."

I am on my way to Amsterdam
for the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
ccTLDs conference that gets underway
Monday at the NH Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel.
The show runs through Thursday when it concludes
with RickLatona.com's
live domain auction and the official show party
hosted by Parked.com.
I will be speaking in the first seminar after
lunch on Thursday and am looking forward to
meeting many European domainers for the first time
at this event.
Starting on Monday I
will be posting daily updates from Amsterdam to
fill you in on what is happening at the
conference. As always, we will also put
together a comprehensive show review article for
publication soon after the show ends. |
