Our Commitment to Transparency

Kalorama is defining the IPv4 marketplace through broad education efforts, global partnerships, and transparency initiatives that reach beyond the “brokerage services” found elsewhere.

Kalorama regularly serves as an information link between the private and public sectors, national and international governments, regulating bodies, and businesses.

By issuing regular policy and marketplace updates to our network, meeting with various stakeholders around the world, and participating in conferences held by RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, ICANN, and the IGF, Kalorama promotes transparency and transaction consistency, which will increasingly bring the market efficiency to levels in line with other marketplaces further along in their maturation.

History

In 2011, after helping several of our existing FairWinds Partners clients achieve their IP address business continuity goals, we rebranded the “Internet numbers” side of our business separately from the “Internet names” business as Kalorama Group.

Kalorama, which means “beautiful view” in Greek, is named after the historic neighborhood in Washington, D.C.

Multiple U.S. presidents, such as Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama, have called Kalorama home at some point in their lives and many embassies, including the Embassies of India, Japan and Croatia, are located in this distinctive D.C. neighborhood.

Partner Brands

Both FairWinds and DigitalDNA work with clients to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their online branding efforts through the optimal ownership and use of domain names, social media usernames, and other digital identifiers, such as gTLD extensions.

Through its principles, Kalorama also has close working relationships with members of the U.S. Congress, U.S. government agencies, Internet regulators, international agencies and organizations, and major organizations and groups that are active in the field of Internet governance and policy.

The nature of the Internet marketplace is such that all of our brands require a high level of skill to navigate changing market conditions, complex negotiation or transaction issues, and time constraints. As a trusted advisor to brands with intricate online business goals, we are adept at advising on and assisting with complex digital strategies.
