I still get a big kick having to find .mobi buried in the ccTLD. What a sense of humor...a real knee slapper!
Anyways, to those interested, the re-auction of the Sedo system crash debacle .mobi domains was to take place on January 23.
Well, this has been postponed.
In light of all that has gone on, even taking back the domains that were not contested, this is the right thing to do as there is still much sorting out that needs to be done and legal wrangling going on.

Online Auction Update: Postponed
As you're likely aware, dotMobi, for a number of reasons, chose to exercise its legal right to void the Sedo-hosted online auction of December 2007.
Since voiding the auction, our goal has been to identify a way forward that is fairest to all and that best facilitates the development of high-quality content for mobile web users. After further review, we have been able to identify some cases where it may be possible to allocate registration tokens without an auction (and without substantial controversy). The remaining names will be included in a new auction.
To resolve as many disputes as possible, dotMobi has postponed the auction previously announced for January 23, 2008. The rules for this new auction have not been fixed, and dotMobi will carefully consider any suggestions from the community with respect to the new auctionâs structure. Please feel free to email your suggestions to [email protected].
