Management’s pre-recorded remarks (webcast) discussing the quarter and outlook for the Company are posted on the Tucows web site at http://www.tucows.com/investors/financials. [Editor's note: the management remarks are mostly about Ting.] See CEO Elliot Noss on Q3 2018 Results - Earnings Call Transcript | SeekingAlpha.com.

In lieu of a live question and answer period, for the next five days, until Monday November 12, 2018, shareholders, analysts and prospective investors can submit questions to Tucows’ management via ir@tucows.com. 

Management will post responses to questions of general interest to the Company’s web site at http://www.tucows.com/investors/financials/ on Friday, November 16 at approximately 4:00 p.m. ET. All questions will receive a response, however, questions of a more specific may be responded to directly.

Tips for cleaning up WHOIS data | EPAG.de excerpts:

To prevent personal data in an organization contact from being displayed in a public WHOIS, we recommend taking the following measures, where allowed by the relevant registry:

• Use roles rather than personal names for Organization contact details. For example, instead of writing “John Doe” for the name ... use the role “Host Master” [or "Domain Administrator"].
• Use role email addresses rather than personal email addresses. For example, instead of using “john.doe@company.com” for the email address, use a generic company email address like “info@company.com”.
• Where possible, clean up existing contact data to remove personal data from any organization contacts.
• Remind domain registrants of their obligation to provide you with correct data and to keep that data up to date. This will ensure that the registrant is able to manage their consent preferences using the contact email provided with the domain order.
• These tips give registrants the added advantage that their organization is not reliant on a particular person (for example during a transfer), should that person be out of the office or no longer employed by the company.

We do a close read of the 2017 shareholder letter he published this April to see if we can better understand the company as a business and as an investment.

3:00 – Setting the scene – Amazon’s 4-part shareholder letter

$VRSN

UPDATE: VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN) (domain: Verisign.com), registry operator of top-level domains (TLDs), including gTLDs .COM and .NET, and an internet security services provider, released earnings for the third quarter, Q3 2018, at approximately 4:05 p.m. EDT Thursday, Oct 25, 2018.

UPDATE: Earnings Results (pdf) excerpts--GAAP EPS of $1.13, revenue of $305.78M (+4.6% Y/Y):

Third Quarter GAAP Financial Results VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Verisign”) reported revenue of $306 million for the third quarter of 2018, up 4.6 percent from the same quarter in 2017. Verisign reported net income of $138 million and diluted earnings per share (diluted “EPS”) of $1.13 for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $115 million and diluted EPS of $0.93 for the same quarter in 2017. The operating margin was 63.8 percent for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 61.9 percent for the same quarter in 2017.

On Oct. 24, 2018, Verisign entered into an agreement with NeuStar, Inc. (“Neustar”) to sell the rights, economic benefits, and obligations, in all customer contracts related to its Security Services business. The transaction includes the sale of customer agreements related to Verisign’s Distributed Denial of Service Protection, Managed Domain Name System (“DNS”), DNS Firewall, and Recursive DNS services. Verisign will retain its proprietary technology, network assets, critical infrastructure, software, and public DNS service to focus solely on supporting Verisign’s core mission: ensuring the security, stability, and resiliency of our core infrastructure. As part of the transaction, Verisign will continue to support the Security Services customers during the transition to Neustar, pursuant to a transition services agreement that is expected to be executed at closing. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approval and is expected to close shortly following the receipt of such approval. The purchase price, subject to a cap of $120 million, consists of a payment of $50 million, due at the time of closing, plus an additional contingent amount, due after the first anniversary of closing. The additional contingent amount, which cannot be negative, is based upon, among other things, the successful transition of customers to Neustar during the 12-month period following closing. In commenting on the transaction, Jim Bidzos added: “Verisign is committed to focusing on its core mission of providing critical internet infrastructure, including Root Zone management, operation of 2 of the 13 global internet root servers, operation of .gov and .edu, and authoritative resolution for the .com and .net top-level domains, which support the majority of global ecommerce. For this reason, Verisign is transitioning its Security Services customers to Neustar.” (emphasis added)

Excerpts from the conference call [slides and transcript]:

• Verisign is in negotiations to extend the Cooperative Agreement with NTIA and believes these negotiations will result in an extension agreement before Nov 30, 2018. Details to be finalized and Verisign could not disclose anything further.
