      I thought it was difficult to take undue advantage of charitable status – trustees must approve wages etc.

      Doesn’t seem particularly fair on the speculator either, but it’s the .co.uk owner who has already developed on the basis that he holds the number one address, who would be hardest done by.

      You can add a third "domainers who have already sold off most of their domains = Yes".

      BTW I voted yes.

      Then how would you know they were a charity?

      There is a register of charities, if that's what you mean.

      If it reflected Acorn you would assume there would be a lot more. There are only currently 99 votes!

      Maybe the entire membership should vote and lets see how this pans out - My view is it would be the NO camp by an overwhelming majority!!

      Genie out of the bottle?

      This nonsensical argument was soundly beaten 9 years ago.

      There is an existing structure in the UK and people have invested substantial amounts of money building brands around the .co.uk.

      The prime UK extension has already been sold and should NOT be sold again!
