The 'key stakeholders' consulted did not include any registrars
Just heard back from Eleanor Bradley in connection with the FOI release which showed 'key stakeholders' were consulted about direct.uk back in August 2012. She has confirmed that these were 'key external stakeholders such as government' and did not include any registrars. Here's the important paragraph from her email to me:
"As you would expect, we did consider very carefully the ramifications of introducing direct.uk that included input from some key external stakeholders such as government. However we did not do this in public for obvious reasons prior to the consultation launch, and similarly we do not intend to provide details of who was contacted, but I hope it will reassure you to know that no registrars were sent the consultation in advance."
