Question for Nominet

[Jay Daley]

Ok Jay, your comment 'That is complete and utter rubbish.' I respect.

I hope you respect my comment...The DRS 'is complete and utter rubbish.'

I think it is more appropriate to say that I respect your right to have that view and I recognise that you have some considered issues with our DRS that leads to that view.

Nominet

Jay, its good to expand our minds and express ourselves freely on a public forum.

We like to say that the DRS is a load of rubbish but in truth is not that bad, thats not to say I would run with it if I was deciding the DRS outcome.

If I was running Nominet I would plough every resource into prevention rather cure. Prevention in respect to registration and prevention in respect to court action (mediation)....alas I am not Nominet

There is no specific provision for cancelling a subsequent registration (because of an earlier mistake) in the T&Cs - at least there was not in the version used in 2001. I confess I have not looked at every version of the T&Cs - and it is the version that applied when the registration took place that is relevant.

Likewise if you deny someone of an asset without good cause, compensation is not limited to their out of pocket expenses - it includes the value of the lost asset. This applies to a lost contractual right, a chose in action, which is the very least a .uk domain registration is. Of course you can try to limit it in the contract, but that may or may not be effective.

If anyone thinks they have had a domain cancelled within the last 6 years due to an error by Nominet in relation to a previous registrant, please PM me if you want me to look into obtaining full and proper compensation for you.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for this advice - as I stated earlier in this thread we lost two domains due to a Nominet error. We'll give your offer some thought and come back to you.

Kind regards,

Nigel
