Nominet announces new policy consultation for expiring .UK domains

[Murray]

It is hard to pin down specifically

What he does, If it's not pure gas lighting it's certainly a close variant

@mcrick Are you currently a director of Nominet?

 

[DesD]

@Admin i believe @mcrick may be a member of Nominet’s board as has been suggested elsewhere on the forum.

If he chooses not to answer my direct question on this topic above, then I’d encourage you to ban his IP address from accessing the forum.

I believe he’s trolling a candidate who is potentially running for a seat currently held by a colleague of his - a clear conflict of interest in my opinion.

I find his behaviour disruptive and arrogant and I don’t think this is the time for members to be distracted in this way.

The clock is ticking on your income streams.

I will also be bringing this thread and others to the attention of Beverley Hamblet-Bowes, Nominet’s HR Director.

How about the conflict of interest of said candidate abusing their staff position on a domaining forum to delete other peoples posts re Nominet policies?

Are you bipolar?

 

[Derek]

Are you bipolar?

Do you think its reasonable for a prospective Nominet paid staff member to be using their position as a mod here to be deleting Nominet critical posts?

 

[DesD]

I can’t speak to that as I don’t have any specifics.

However, I note Susannah stated her intention right at the start to moderate the threads she created with the intention of keeping discussion on point.

That said, in my experience of community management (significant) this was never going to work as an approach for the suspicion of what you suggest.

I understand Susannah figured this out quite quickly and stepped back from moderating.

All of that said, I believe that Susannah has been quite upfront and consistent about her reasons for running and in doing so it’s absolutely right that she should be challenged. Further, in using a community with anonymous members as a platform, then she can’t expect to know who everyone is - nor has she requested this.

However, if any of the participants in this discussion are conflicted in the way I suggest above, then they are obliged to do so under their real name. To not do so brings this entire process into disrepute in my opinion.

I have a very serious issue with the way @mcrick chose to ‘out’ Susannah as gender diverse in discussion. It was passive trolling of the worst kind and simply not acceptable to me.

The end of drop catching?

yep. Probably.

To be fair he said @Admin not @susannah . Dont think the owner of the forum has any affiliation with Nominet ? Could be wrong ?

Do you mean registrar or registrant because there was only one registrar in the late 1990’s (Network Solutions). Were you referring to being a Nominet member and tag holder?

Nominet Member and TAG holder not .COM Registrar.
Also there were more than one .COM registrars in the 1990s.

Who are these “lot of people” you cite that this is “their only income”? Please tell us WHO?

Silly question to ask..

They don’t run a monopoly

Do you understand the definition of Monopoly?

No Nominet haven’t. The annual membership fee hasn’t gone up. If some members leave, because £100 A YEAR, is too much for them, maybe they have more pressing issues that they’re hiding.

You missing the point, there actions over the years is making members irrelevant. £100 is not what will make anyone not be a member of Nominet, that's Orange Juice money.

If a lot of the proxy members leave because there’s no need for them to exist, is that a negative?

I don't know, I don't know if they are all proxy members and did they tell you why the left?

Can you cite any online source that details this? Any document? Any news article anywhere that you can evidence to corroborate what you claim to remember from over twenty years ago, please?

If you are asking, it means you are not involve in the internet space in the 90s. google network solution monopoly of .com and take your pick.

I highly doubt you understand the products or areas that CyGlass’s products belong in and I wouldn’t expect you to without having researched it

Cyglass is not ahead of anytime, they are catching up, Nominet had to buy them to even have a security product. There is nothing they are doing that is new.

Please don't doubt, I have developed and delivered eCommerce systems for banks, insurance and other FTSE 100 companies for over two decades, LBG, RBS/NatWest, AXA, AON, Lehman Brothers, Dresdner, Aviva, Old Mutual Wealth. I am certified in Cisco Pix and Checkpoint firewalls and used many others including F5s. I could go on here but I think that's enough.

Please Network security is priority to all my work and I definitely know what I am talking about here.

Now back to Cyglass service, there is nothing new here and I don't need to start explaining anything to you here either.

Like I said, Cyglass patent, if they have one for their service will be bought and leverage on other services offered by network providers.

Please don't doubt, we might only be talking domain names here, so you know, I start my IT career in the 80s, been very lucky to have had the career I had and the companies I have worked for.

Now you know, don't doubt my knowledge and experience here.

Ask the Chairman. He’ll be happy to explain. In a nutshell, because the CEO is worth his salary and the Remuneration Committee don’t want him to be poached because they’re playing him below market. Do you have reason to believe that wouldn’t happen?

The usual nonsense, you could assume I have heard this before.

CEO salary increase need to be justified on achievement not that if CEO goes we are done. That is total nonsense, there was Nominet before CEO joined and there will be Nominet after CEO goes.

Show me what significant achievement that has happened since this CEO joined?

David, bro, chill, a lot of people on this platform knows a lot about a lot of things, you might not know they do but they do, please threat people with some respect and don't questions their intelligence.

I don't hate the people working at Nominet, I have dealt with few people at Nominet and they are good people, nice people and I have no bad words to say about anyone working at Nominet.

I have issue with the direction Nominet is taking and now trying to take away secondary market income from members is not right. Try find a way to fix the issues.

As per the insult you made, I will send you a private message as requested.

I will leave things here and hope we all have a good week.

I'm not stupid David.

 

[DesD]

@Admin can we also establish who @Derek is? Again, trolling and distracting. No posting history prior to mid July. Potential conflict of interest. Either he declares who he is, or he should be removed.

Someone that has an opinion that differs to yours doesn't mean they're a troll.

Saying there is a conflict of interest is just silly. A conflict to what exactly?

At first you were in Bulgaria, then Israel, now a question mark. Stylometric analysis is great David. I suggest you resign.

 

[Derek]

Resign from what exactly? I'm not David. I don't work for Nominet. You're making yourself look stupid.
