Agreed, but this is a massive problem for those that get affected. If you were a company that missed the opportunity to stop someone building on your brand (in potentially the more common uk extension in years to come) or cyber squatting on the .uk... Because the email went astray... That's very harsh IMO.
But its not a simple case of not seeing one email and you lose out. No doubt every domain registrar you've ever bought anything from will be emailing you too. And Nominet are running an 'awareness campaign', whatever that is.
Plus you'll get all of these business owners talking to each other - they'll be mentioning this, and if someone didn't know already, they do now. They have a full 6 months to find out about it.
