Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | 5 . Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisitions. The Company's Goodwill balance is $85.5 million as of March 31, 2017, up $64.5 million from December 31, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of eNom (note 8(b)). The Company's goodwill relates 98% ($83.4 million) to its Domain Services operating segment and 2% ($2.1 million) to its Network Access Services operating segment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment evaluation annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. Other Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of network rights, brand, customer relationships, surname domain names and our portfolio of domain names. As reflected in the table below, these balances are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the intangible assets, except for the surname domain names and direct navigation domain names, which have been determined to have an indefinite life and which are evaluated at least annually for impairment. A summary of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows:
|  | Surname domain names |  |  | Direct navigation domain names |  |  | Brand |  |  | Customer relationships |  |  | Technology |  |  | Network rights |  |  | Total |

As of March 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization for the definite life intangible assets was $8.7 million. With regard to indefinite life intangible assets, as part of our normal renewal process we assessed that certain domain names that were acquired in the June 2006 acquisition of Mailbank.com Inc. and that were up for renewal should not be renewed. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, all domain names were renewed. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, domain names, with a book value $20,985 were not renewed and were recorded as an impairment of indefinite life intangible assets. On January 20, 2017, the Company acquired eNom, a wholesale and retail domain registrar. The Company acquired the assets and liabilities of eNom including wholesale and retail brands, proprietary technology and the existing customer relationships. The Company has accounted for these on a fair value basis and each intangible asset is being amortized over the estimated useful life. The amortization for the brands, technology and customer relationships are 7, 2 and 7 years, respectively. See note 8(b) for further details.
