You should have received this notification from Nominet:
Now, here are my thoughts on this:
Ordinary resolution 5)
Remember that Stephen Page has, along with the rest of the board, unanimously opposed the EGM and frankly, there is no benefit for Page to be there for another year. I don’t see why we can’t expedite the process and not vote for his re-appointment.
Every Board member that was in office before the EGM needs to be removed at the earliest opportunity.
That’s how I will be voting
NED Candidates
The same applies to David Thornton who, along with Stephen Page, should have done the honourable thing and announce they will stand down, like Bladel did.
Thornton has been on the board two terms (6 years) already and says he hasn't learned anything from the failed diversification of Nominet and that he wants to see .uk prices increased
Did I mention the arrogant and condescending tone, even in his candidate statement? He is going to tell you why!
Liz Williams seems like an experienced candidate, but when she keeps using Russell Haworth's "profit with a purpose" slogan that was used to justify the higher prices and company acquisitions, I for one am really put off. I don't think she understands the current situation Nominet is in and the the members' dissatisfaction.
Also, it seems to me that she can talk a lot without actually saying anything meaningful.
The only candidates I will be voting for are Ashley La Bolle, Jim Davies and Simon Blackler
The reason I listed them in this order is because I think Simon will get the majority of the votes so it will be important Ashley and Jim get some first option votes as well for when Simon's surplus votes get redistributed, otherwise we risk having someone like Mr Thornton again on the booard as an unintended result of a formula calculation.
I'll end on this quote from David Thornton, in case you needed any more reasons not to vote for him:

The board has had almost a year since the result of the EGM to prepare a transition to another appointed director.
