In this week's Top Topics, domain investors discuss the recent domain sale of AI.com, which reportedly sold to an unknown buyer in the NFT space. Elsewhere, there's an ICANN working group report that has raised concerns for domain investors, and what are your thoughts on the recent surge in "meta" keyword domain sales?
How Do You Reduce Non-Payers?
There have been many stories of domain owners receiving inbound offers via their marketplace listings, only for the sales to fall through thanks to non-paying buyers. While non-payers may be breaching the terms of service of a registrar, it seems the problem as a whole still remains.
What, then, can we do to reduce non-paying domain buyers? Is it a case of removing the "make offer" facility from your domains, or is it an issue that domain investors must learn to live with?

Duplicitous ICANN Working Group Jeopardizes Domain Owners’ Rights
ICANN, the non-profit organization tasked with maintaining and coordinating IP addresses and domain names, has set up a new working group that reportedly jeopardizes the rights of domain name owners.
According to this discussion, the ICANN working group has issued a report that would start to affect the rights of domain owners in the UDRP and URS domain name dispute procedures. More information about the report can be found in this discussion. Anyone opposing this report can publicly comment on it by October 24th, 2021.

What Are Your Thoughts on the Recent Meta Sales Surge?
The keyword "meta" has exploded in popularity recently, with names such as Meta.so ($149,000), MetaXR.com ($60,000), and MetaPayments.co ($53,450) selling for five- and six-figure fees in the last week or so. Both Meta.io and Metaverse.io have also sold for six-figure fees this year.
What is causing the surge in meta domain sales, and what do you think about the current meta trend? Do you think meta keyword domains will continue to produce significant sales figures, or will they fade out in a matter or weeks or months?
