SocialDomainers.com, a new social network for Social Domainers has just been launched by Tony Kanakaris, a Long Island, New York based domainer. The network was set up in order to help local domainers meet and connect. For today’s launch, the site is giving away an Apple iPad for the 1,000th member to sign up for the site, which has been running in a private beta for a while.

[Update] Tony just told DNN that two more lucky members who sign up before April 1st, 2010 will also have the chance to win an iPad.

Following the course of other TLDs, such as .DE, Nominet has posted a document for their members and registrars proposing the release of single and double character domain names in the third level of the .UK domain (under co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk and .net.uk). The release would exclude some domains that have been registered before the establishing of Nominet as the registry operator in 1996. According to the consultation, Nominet is considering releasing the domains in two phases: A first round for trademark holders, followed by a Dutch Auction (starting with a high price being reduced until a buyer is found, similar to the release of second level .MX domains).

The corresponding consultation runs for three months, from 8 March 2010 until 8 June 2010.  To provide your feedback, you can either complete the online survey or email your answers to shortdomains@nominet.org.uk.
