Figuring out inaccurate member data

[Kieren]

That should of course read: What TYPE of Nominet member / tag holder are you?

Can't edit polls once they're up.

1. A member can have many registrars of different tag types

2. The tag type statistics are now provided here:

I have all 3, most aren't accredited.

I have 1 of each, for diversity sakes, of course.

I've changed the survey so you put in more than vote.

What do you see as the advantage/disadvantage of accrediting?

I've changed the survey rules so you can add more than one vote. Thanks for flagging that people may have more than one type

Great, thanks. So there's cause to be concerned - the majority of members aren't accredited so Nominet likely holds old data on large numbers of them.

If you hit that little “quote” button on the posts you want to reply to, you can rack them up in one reply instead spamming the thread.

To answer your question about accreditation. There are no disadvantages, if you’re already running a tight ship you don’t need to worry about any of the things they require from you such as insurance etc. contingency plans and what not.

Advantages are plentiful. Easier to transfer, release, easier to control domains in general. IMO, there should be no Channel Partner as it’s useless when you have the Accredited tag.
