cctld Nominet EGM call - .uk in disarray

[Whois-Search]

Dear Fellow Nominet Members,

Many of you will have read the on going Nominet board conflict on nom-steer and TheRegister:

I am saddened to read the resignation letter by Angus Hanton and the revelations by Jim Davies.

These men have put their reputations, personal wealth and time on the line for us who elected them.

Many questions remain unanswered, such as those relating to executive pay, senior staff discipline and corporate governance.

Therefore, in my opinion, time has come to regain and safeguard membership control of Nominet, a key supplier to all our businesses.

I ask all those who wish to support a ‘vote of no confidence’ against the current board to contact [email protected] as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Andrew Bennett
