The new gTLD info for Monday, May 23rd

This week-end, I was asked the authorization to post in the new gTLD group I moderate on LinkedIn. I received a kind email asking for permission (...) and this is not the first time that it happens.

Don't ask for permission: just do it

I personally never read group rules prior to posting in a LinkedIn group but I don't post content when it is not related to the group I subscribed to. In regard to the "new gTLD" group, I never block from posting: it is already hard enough to have people to participate! I only block bad domaining and content which is not related to new gTLDs so please, feel free to post: there are 2300 subscribers waiting for your new gTLD info.
