    Nominet considering redundancies

    To be clear, they gave CyGlass to the existing management team for a dollar. About a year later CyGlass was bought by Watchguard. For more than a dollar. https://www.watchguard.com/wgrd-news/press-releases/new-acquisition-powers-ai-based-ndr-and-open-xdr

    Why you should Vote NO! to Nominet's Proposed Governance Changes

    Unfortunately that is not what the draft Article 2 says. It says : Proposed article 2: “The Board will inform the Membership in advance of any proposed significant change in scope, together with an explanation as to how this relates to the Company’s objects for the public benefit.” So was...

    Why you should Vote NO! to Nominet's Proposed Governance Changes

    Doesn't the new Article 2 just promise to "inform...a significant change in scope"? Not share and discuss. Do you realise why it has been worded like that? Did you take independent legal advice on how ineffective it is? Something like CyGlass was not a change of scope at that time. I would...

    Why you should Vote NO! to Nominet's Proposed Governance Changes

    It's a bit sad when my one non-member response gets a 5% share of the pie chart! Having been to member events with less than ten people in attendance, I'd say there is a huge disconnect between Nominet and its members. As to why, I'd say it probably doesn't help having an organisation...

    Why you should Vote NO! to Nominet's Proposed Governance Changes

    Nominet recently had a consultation on proposed governance changes. It only got 20 replies. A significant number opposed the main proposals. Despite that, they are pushing ahead with a vote at the AGM next month. Voting is due to open tomorrow. Nominet now admit that they have been operating...

    I'll be at the London Domain Summit - what do you want me to talk about?

    If I'm reading IFFOR's tax returns correctly, all of its income comes from the ICM/GoDaddy contract. No income is shown being generated by the AtFirstSite progam, so it seems no one is paying the £150 you mentioned. Also it says IFFOR has paid out nothing on its grant program. Ever. Here's...

    Re: IFFOR where I am Executive Director. IFFOR continues to do the same work it has was set up to do: check on .xxx policies and their effectiveness; do an annual audit; run a grants program; develop policies and do related work that fit it with our remit. We did expect the .xxx contract...

    Court orders Nominet to repay Member Subscriptions

    In principle, I think you may well be able to bring a claim. As to the total possible liability, there have been a number of cases dealing with the rights of air passengers under an EU Regulation of 2004. Many of those started in small claims or similar type courts and ended up in the European...

    Court orders Nominet to repay Member Subscriptions

    There's usually a six year limitation period for what you can claim. As far as I can see, there is no right to charge a joining fee anywhere. So maybe a £1,000 per member as a starting point. But in Iain Mitchell KC's opinion (link here), he raises the question of unjust enrichment, which...
