Team of Experienced Domain Monetization Executives Join Initiative -

LOS ANGELES and FRANKFURT, November 26 - DomainSponsor(R), the domain monetization division of Oversee.net(R),
announced today that it plans to establish operations in Europe during the
first quarter of 2010 and has appointed Joerg Schnermann as General Manager,
DomainSponsor Europe. Joining his team are Jessica Besseling and Joe Higgins,
experienced domain monetization executives with deep expertise working with
European publishers.

Schnermann previously was Chief Operating Officer of KeywordDomains.com,
where he managed and expanded large portfolios of ccTLDs and monetized
traffic through multiple channels. Prior to working in the domain business,
he was a marketing manager with the Coatings Division of BASF AG, responsible
for the development and launch of value-added services in eight European
sales organizations. Schnermann also has a corporate banking background with
Commerzbank AG. He received his B.A. in European Business from DCU in Dublin,
Ireland
as well as a "Diplom Betriebswirt" from the European School of
Business
in Reutlingen, Germany.

"The European market is considered to be the fastest growing sector in
the global domain space," said Peter Celeste, Oversee.net Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Domain Services. "This is a significant
milestone for DomainSponsor. We're delighted to welcome such a talented core
team of seasoned domain industry experts. They understand local needs and
will help build on existing relationships and establish new ones within the
European community."

Jessica Besseling is a well-known member of the European domain community
and previously worked for Oversee in a sales role. Before rejoining Oversee,
she was Director of Business Development for DDC. As a native of Luxembourg
and former resident of Germany, Besseling has represented DomainSponsor at a
number of industry events during her initial tenure with the company.

Joe Higgins currently is a senior account manager at DomainSponsor. One
of his areas of focus is the international domain investor community, where
he collaborates with international publishers to grow and develop their
portfolios. Higgins helped organize and produce the very first DOMAINfest(R)
conference in Barcelona in August 2006 and, since then, has continued to
cultivate European relationships and gain a better understanding of the
primary differences between European and U.S. traffic and parking platforms.

Joerg, Jessica and Joe will be focusing on the European market, working
directly with local publishers to improve and optimize the DomainSponsor
platform, and hiring and training a local team for the formal launch of the
European business in Q1. They will be actively soliciting feedback from the
domain community as they get started. Please contact them directly to be part
of this effort:
