    James Conaghan posted this on Nom-Steer today in reply to Leo Vegoda:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Do you mean the £3,000 appeals fee? Which is something I would like to
    resolve. I personally think £3,000 is a heck of an obstacle to "justice" for
    those who cannot afford to appeal decisions that go against them; and it is
    my humble opinion that most ordinary people do not appeal for that very
    reason.

    Whilst I understand the logic that it might cost a lot more in court,
    Nominet and/or the DRS is *not* the court so the argument is a little
    irrelevant to someone who just hasn't got the £3,000. I had hoped that DRS
    was 'for the people' but it seems to be only for those with the deepest
    pockets. In a community led environment, is this the best a community led
    registry can do?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At least James (a current Nominet PAB member up for re-election) sees sense.

    Michael Toth had no chance to get 3k to Nominet on bounce.co.uk !

    Hi Richard,

    I saw two posts from you on nom-steer. If you are still having trouble posting to the list email support@nominet.org.uk and the very helpful peeps there will be able to advise how to sort it out.
