Seeking Founding Members for Domain Association

[RJ]

This is an open invitation to NamePros members to join with me as Founding Members of the Domain Name Owners Association.

Read about the full mission of the organization here.

There are several benefits to joining, especially for current NamePros members. Your NamePros trader rating can be carried over onto your DNOA Member Profile and we'll also be displaying the DNOA Certified Seller seal here at NamePros in the near future.

Please see the web site at www.dnoa.org for full details about the organization's purpose and member benefits. We are currently in a organizational pre-launch phase and still have several vital issues that are to be decided that will shape the future of this organization. (Consequently, if you run into any problems using the site, do contact [email protected] for assistance.)

The cost is only $6.95 for a full year membership and by joining now you will be named as a Founding Member for as long as you remain part of the association. Please use this link to login using your NamePros username. This will ensure your NamePros account is linked to your DNOA account: http://www.dnoa.org/login.php

I'm putting my full support behind the launch of this organization and am hoping to see many other members from NamePros and other domain industry sites get involved. Please do consider joining today.

Sincerely,

Ron James
NamePros Webmaster

Hey -RJ-, i just joined, and chose which plan i wanted ($6.95/year for namepros only) but after i click submit it just went to a blank page
It never got to a paying page or anything, any help?
Thanks, great idea btw!

 

[dgaussin]

I got a blank page too. I reloaded to have the pay page.

Make membership purchasable through $NP, i'd rather register a domain for the fee. :P

Please do try again. I'm looking for the source of the database errors. If you get one, click refresh.

You can also register a domain with NP$... :]

 

[Shorty]

True, registering through namepros for a namepros discounted account just makes more sense though. :P

Flexi just joined, too. :gl:

 

[alanchau]

I especially like the free WHOIS privacy feature...

Is it too late now to join as a founding member?

No, not at all. We're still organizing DNOA and planning for the official launch.

Thanks!

No, your name or address will not be displayed publicly. It is kept private.

R.J. I am interested in coming onboard to help out with this as long as people don't mind me posting some doubtfull things about the organization. For isntance, by using merely email addresses as a verification processn isn't too professional.

Other things should be verified as well, such as mailing address, phone...

Sure, I'm fine with that so long as the criticism is constructive. Would love to hear ideas on make things more effective.

We are requiring a verified mailing address on file with DNOA for the Certified Seller seal. SSL issuers use a type of automated phone verification. I guess that's always an option for us as well.

 

[Joe123]

I have just applied. Thank you RJ (and all other people involved) for the initiative.

 

[Morgan]

Yes, this seems like a very nice system hopefully we will see more people using after the launch.
Although when i try to login i get a join today page even though i have allready paid to become a member.
Any ideas why this is happening?

 

[jmweb]

I guess that's always an option for us as well.

This should be required in order for you to signup.
