Thanks for the links - I never did understand the reasoning behind the myspace.co.uk dispute. It was registered years before MySpace, INC. Probably wasn't a good idea having PPC ads relating to social networking but still it was never a "abusive registration"
 
It doesn't matter when domain was registered, if there are pay-per-lick<sic> ads and at least one is close enough to the subject of the complaint, Nominet experts used to call this registration abusive without much thinking. I wonder if this would change now.
 

...I like this bit:

Special Resolution 6 was Nominet’s attempt to become a self governing, self policing organisation with special powers to have an executive casting vote over most decisions. i.e. It attempted to shift its status from being a democracy to a dictatorship - and so Ya boo sucks to you. Nominet’s chief executive Lesley Cowley before the vote said that the existing board structure, together with low turnouts, makes Nominet “vulnerable to capture” by parties that might act in their own interests rather than those of the 3,000 members. Nice one Lesley, warn members of an eventuality that you just attempted yourselves!

...I can see Lesley's face now: :oops::shock:

;)

Regards,

Sneezy.
 
...This one was an interesting read until it misteriosly 'disappeared'. :rolleyes:

Has the Nominet 'clean up team' been out to work again - if so, where will it hit next? :???:

In the words of the great man himself Eric Cartman (aka - I can't say, but you can guess ;)) "you will respect my authoritah" :mrgreen:

Regards,

Sneezy.
