UK without Scotland

Vote Scottish Independance, or Darien Scheme 2.0 as I like to call it. Perhaps the Germans will buy them next time :p
 
your just flapping again like when the .UK things started - anyway, you can't be that worried as your still regging my drops..


My concern is not over UK not being kept, it is the news that drives peoples decisions and sometimes it is trying to create a sense of direction for the UK namespace.

If Nominet is hedging its bets and has plans to introduce a new tld if Scotland leave, then why would anybody register and spend time developing a .uk?
If Nominet has no plans then coming out and say so, it can only strengthen the new .uk.

I believe if Scotland left UK, it will still be know as UK and the internet space anomaly (as technically I believe, it should have been .gb, so we have always lived with an anomaly)
of the UK excluding Scotland would continue to use .uk.

If there is news that says that something else may replace UK, it creates uncertainty.

I would hope that Nominet would come out and state the UK brand will stay as is, even if Scotland leaves. So removing that tld uncertainty.

Thanks for your expired, I do now drop far more .co.uk domains than I have ever allowed to drop before.

I do register about 40 UK domains a month at the moment, a mixture of .uk and some .co.uk & .uk. Well down from over 200 p.m. a few years ago.

I still have about 7,000 ish UK domains.

I'm committed to help making the UK namespace work better and posting news link that may create a useful debate, I think is useful.

If nobody flapped and brought out points, stats and PR when the ".uk thing started"
you would be looking at a very different UK namespace now,
one which would be much worse than now!
