6 PAB Candidates

[Whois-Search]

I'm not sure who buys them will necessarily make that much difference any plans they have to propose anyone.

Thanks for the offer. That would certainly be controversial.. :mrgreen:

Some of us had to do that quite a while ago.. :roll:

What are the rules on a large Nominet member proposing someone? Do the directors own the Nominet membership so they decide?
Let's say Virgin Media did buy Pipex - would Jarrod Robinson have to ask Richard Branson if he can second Peter Gradwell again?

Controversial might be Popular.........

Yes but hopefully I shall be Dr Bennett by then I was more making the point that you have to have spare time to be on the PAB unless either you work for yourself or your boss lets you take time off work. I can see why Pipex would let Jarrod have days off for example however what if he was a School I.T. teacher?

This is no different to any business decision within a company. Ultimately the decision rests with the board of directors in every company (or equivalent responsible person(s)).. they can delegate this down to managers. In case of holding companies, effectively the same applies.

If Virgin buy Pipex, then Virgin would be able to make PIPEX change its vote.. but they could also trust PIPEX's management to make the right decision.

Seconding someone is the same.. it's about who is authorised to speak on behalf of the company. Ultimately it's a company's internal matter. I wouldn't expect one of my staff to second anyone in Nominet elections without talking to me. I guess legally another director could probably do it without asking (but they might be out of a job soon thereafter if they did something silly )

My comment was tongue in cheek

Why do I get the feeling Nominet is becoming a google.. First Peter and now you doing a Ph.D.
