Finally I am able to announce that just took friendly control of The Domainers Network, the largest domain industry group on LinkedIn with a solid number 7,956 members!
"The Domainers Network" Linkedin Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/115653/
Founded in June 2008 by Mukundan Krishnaswamy, The Domainers Network is a valuable asset for anyone in the domain space. Me, with the help of @Andrey Insarov from @it.com Domains, will work alongside Mukundan and our @DNF Admin (Felix) to optimize the group and ensure it continues to thrive.
This exciting development comes at a perfect time for us, as we are looking to promote the upcoming Domain Summit.
As from the legal side, there isn't a specific clause in LinkedIn's Terms of Service (TOS) that explicitly prohibits buying or selling LinkedIn groups. After carefully reading these, it seems Linkedin is always the real owner of the groups and all the content that is posted there.
Here is a list of other notable Linkedin groups of our industry:
* Domain Sellers // 4273 members // https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2369455/
* Premium Domain Investors // 3402 members // https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2652097/
* New gTLDs & .BRANDs // 3012 members // https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1840166/
* Domain Name (the only group that is older than "The Domainers Network") // 1802 members // https://www.linkedin.com/groups/67788/
* CCTLD Domains // 545 members // https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4081333/
Sadly, I can't disclose the details of the agreement.
Feel free to reach out if you wish to help us with the moderation of the group and by this putting your name even more out there.
Lesson to all the entrepreneurs > keep an open eye on all the opportunities (this is a muscle to be trained).
Best wishes all!!

p.s. Apart from this, it seems we have a good "click" with Mukundan, and there might be joint projects I might do together with him; related to the Domain Summit, of course.
p.p.s. Also, in far 2017 I did the opposite: sold a super active "UK Latvian" Facebook group for £15'000 // the deal got mentioned in the main Latvian business newspaper "Dienas Business" (alternative to "Financial Times" in Latvia) https://www.db.lv/zinas/kapec-tika-...omunikacijas-platforma-vietne-facebook-466954
