.MOBI Policy Advisory Board
Meeting Summary
8 October 2015
(telephonically)
Attendance
Ken Stubbs, John Levine, Lauri Hirvonen
(quorum)
David Payne, Samantha Payne
(on behalf of Afilias)
Discussions
Update on .MOBI – David indicated that the decline has leveled off and .MOBI has gone back to a stable position. .MOBI has very strong renewals, so it seems the level of new registrations is where the decline is more prevalent (possibly due to speculative investors dropping off)?
The IANA transition was discussed; with most agreeing that it is largely a political issue.
Decision
Have Roland (and possibly Alan) attend next meeting to discuss marketing and .MOBI.
Think about possible experiments to determine where the decline in .MOBI is originating from and where those clients went.
Discuss IANA transition again after Dublin.
October 2015

Agenda
- state of .mobi domain names under management
- promotion programs
- IANA Transition and .mobi
John Levine, opened with some observations that the current mission statement does not reflect the current statistics or public trends in mobile usage on the internet.
General discussion followed with notes with some commercial in confidence data presented. One issue included the difficulty to get a clear picture of how .mobi domain names are being used due to lack of whois data for some registrants.
It was noted that pushing technical standards for the mobile internet was a challenge, while players in the industry are implementing m. domain name prefixes, to indicate a mobile version of a particular web site.
Also noted: Google updated its search algorithms to favor websites that perform better on mobile devices than desktop devices just two days prior to our meeting.

Noted that mergers and acquisitions in the mobile network provider ecosystem globally is providing considerable noise in the mobile internet world.
A further discussion on the IANA transition and its possible effect on TLD providers filled the remainder of the discussion.
Global trends in mobile, internet equal access issues , and judgment of the current economic issues in Europe will be added to upcoming discussions with respect to .mobi.
Official meeting Minutes will be posted when available.
