'''Colin Campbell''' is an Internet pioneer, serial entrepreneur, and the founder and current CEO of [[Special:MyLanguage/.CLUB Domains LLC|.CLUB Domains LLC]], one of the world’s fastest-growing and most successful [[Special:MyLanguage/New gTLD|New gTLD]] registries.


'''Colin Campbell''' is an Internet pioneer, serial entrepreneur, and the founder and current CEO of [[.CLUB Domains LLC]], one of the world’s fastest growing and most successful [[New gTLD]] registries.
Campbell’s ongoing vision for [[Special:MyLanguage/.CLUB|.CLUB]] is to create a space for clubs and associations that may be underserved by current [[Special:MyLanguage/TLD|TLD]] offerings. The market ranges from popular soccer clubs to after-school clubs in small communities, and could serve as a way to showcase the often prideful affiliation between an individual or company and their club. Campbell has been working on the idea for a number of years, and officially formed the .CLUB Domains entity in September of 2011. Since general availability began in May of 2014, .CLUB has sold over 192,000 domains, including recently sold wine.club and coffee.club, each of which sold for six figures.<ref>[http://www.domaininvesting.com/coffee-club-deal-good-parties/ Coffee.CLUB's six-figure sale]</ref><ref>[http://namestat.org/club</ .CLUB Key statistics</ref><ref>[[Special:MyLanguage/ICANN 43|ICANN 43]] Colin Campbell Interview at ICANN 43</ref>
