Likewise.

Dear Boys, Girls and Superheroes, A quick note to thank the people who responded to my request here, for firepower. We all have our "war stories", but I always feel that playing domains in the UK is unique. I was once in an auction at mastername.ru for a must-have name, with no English text on...

Thanks Tim.

Dear Boys and Girls, Are any private catchers interested in chasing names for me, for drops on the 31st (tomorrow/March), please? £100 per name, pocket money, on success. PM me, please. Thank you! Regards, Nic

http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/453974-post984.html So then what will happen when two these names are competing I wonder?

1. I think the new .uk proposal is very good. The power of it is its simplicity. 2. With respect to names that are "Registered on: before Aug-1996", I understand that, if you are a TAG older or registrar, conducting lookups enable you to determine the actual reg dates of these names. Does...

Funny for me, to see. If a business with a problematic tld all-of-asudden has a windfall, it will be a dramatic event that will be amusing - to me: almost *all* humour is based on someone else's pain. I hope if the above happens it will not be too painful for the looser applicant, for example I...

Funny how no one ever even remembers that .ltd.uk exists - will be funny to see .ltd.uk applications trump Plan B rollout of .uk names when (if) the tld happens.

@Skinner When .cn and .mx were launched, .com.cn and .com.mx had first right of refusal. Three months or something like that. I had trademark names I wanted to reg and in two instances, the third-level never took up that right. So you never know. People can be pretty dumb when it comes to...

If I am the one that regs the name you refer to, and I sell it to you (or anyone else) for a profit, that is a "benefit", to me - someone who forms part of the "business community" and "UK webspace". Would you like to tell me what the name is in advance and I reg it and we agree on a fixed...

You are missing my point: Edwin's business forms part of what you call "the UK internet industry"; a "legitimate" part of it. The continued exclusion of Edwin's business (and those like his) from what you regard as the "industry" is what I am taking issue with. Also, I fail to understand...

Any one of the real businesses you refer to could buy one of the names you refer to, from Edwin, ie from his "legitimate" business.

Edwin does not conduct a real business? That is not a sustainable or even arguable position.

People have been there from the start (90s) have heard this view endless times: you have a name that I want and I do not want to pay for it and so because my use is more legitimate than your use you should give me. Never has anyone asked me to stay in my Aspen apartment for free (or cheap)...

But Edwin's potfolio *is* the industry, or part of it. His voice and use is as "legitimate" as any other.

Whether or not you agree that Nominet have been successful is a separate issue, but their objectives is as I said.

Owning 3000 names is not a legitimate use? Nominet do not agree with you on that. There is just no objective basis for this view; your views appear to be based on dogma.

That is exactly what they have done, or are seeking to do; apply a test to give .uk names to the most deserving.

I support the new central criterion: oldest reg secures first right of refusal. Providing Kevin Murphy's Eleanor Bradley quote is consistent with the actual plan when it is released: “The clock on registration period is reset to the date of the current registration if the domain has ever...

Including Nominet. Their agenda is, in part, commercialisation of the second level. That has caused much of the problem.
