Hello DN Forum Team,
I like to have permission to post this important news regarding a possible solution to all of the affected winners of the auction.
Regards,

Dear Members,
In a last ditch effort to find a solution to the current 3rd Sedo dotMobi Auction situation, the most difficult one in .mobi's short history, Mobility is opening a neutral and private space here in the forum to be accessed ONLY by those affected by the 3rd Sedo dotMobi Auction. By "affected", I mean those who received invoices, either at the time of the "crash" or after the "extension". The purpose of this private forum is to openly discuss the situation only with those who are "on the same boat" in order to reach a potential compromise that can be presented to mTLD for consideration. Since this potential resolutoin would be coming from most, if not all, of those actually affected by this situation, it will hopefully pave a way out of this mess.
To ensure the neutrality of Mobility, I will only serve as a Moderator in these private discussions.
I ask that those participating be open-minded and reasonable throughout these discussions so that we can find a way to minimize the collective damage to those involved, and the collateral damage to .mobi.
Everyone participating in the Round Table needs to understand that 1) everyone else in this Round Table has a "legitimate" claim, 2) it is not possible to split a domain in half and award each half to 2 different people, 3) that any chance of success will depend on everyone being open-minded, reasonable, respectful, and willing to compromise, and 4) that most, if not all, of those affected need to be included and involved. If we can all accept that, then I think there is hope.
If such a compromise is reached, then we can present it to mTLD as an alternative to the pending lawsuits. Hopefully, that will be a win-win-win for all the stakeholders involved, especially the .mobi extension.
Believe it or not, there are people on both sides of the fence willing to compromise. That is all we need to take this first step.
In order to be granted access to this new Private Forum, you MUST have received a Sedo/mTLD invoice either at the time of the "crash" or after the "extension".
If you fit this criteria, let me know privately via PM so that I grant you access to the new private forum. Please contact me within 48 hours as time is of the essence. If you know of someone affected who might not see this message before then, please let them know as soon as possible.
Unless all participants agree otherwise at a later date, mTLD, Sedo, lawyers, Mobility moderators, and anyone else who does not fit the specific criteria above will NOT be granted access to the Round Table. This is to ensure the privacy, focus, impartiality, and credibility of the discussions and resolution.
I have a lot of faith in the .mobi community and trust we can all come together to resolve this matter in a way that is satisfactory to everyone involved.
Sincerely,
Andres
