    DRS Controversy - What controversy ?

    Nominet's potentially controversial dispute resolution service has proved to be a coup for its in-house legal team. "Taylor, Hobbs, Willoughby and all those associated with the formation of the dispute resolution service should feel proud that the process has endured and caused so little...

    ryanaircampaign.org v ryanair.org.uk

    The man lost his luggage. The ryanair.org.uk website was a protest site. Nominet has always made it plain that it supports free speech on the Internet. Really?

    ryanaircampaign.org v ryanair.org.uk

    The ryanaircampaign.org website sure looks the same as the ryanair.org.uk website (as was). This sort of illustrates the difference between Nominet and WIPO decisions, though. The WIPO D2006-1194 Decision rules not to transfer ryanaircampaign.org but the Nominet DRS 3655 Decision...

    Is the DRS rotten?

    Some may wonder why Nominet chose to go it alone and commission its own specialised DRS service and associated management software when 46 countries world wide (some of them European countries) use WIPO's Domain Name Dispute Resolution Service for country code top level domains (ccTLDs). By...

    From additional services from Nominet webpage (Q) What are the benefits for you of increasing the range of services available from Nominet? (A) You would be able to offer your customers extended services, eg. UK ENUM A number of months ago at EGM1, when I asked why members should be...

    chastityuk.co.uk DRS

    fine-cheeseS.co.uk is available. Do not register it ! The Nominet Expert has deemed that the term finecheeseS has a "secondary meaning". In the Nominet DRS case The Fine Cheese Company Limited v. Lawsons Cheeses , Nominet Expert David Flint decreed that "...the Expert considers that the...

    Is there a link to view the recorded EGM2 webcast? Or as you say "ask for a copy", from whom please?

    So shall we put "do not want to" in the same box as "we have no plans to" and "we have no intentions to". Does "do not want to" (today) mean "do not want to" (next year). Presumably when the Nominet executives and staff did their telephone ring-around this was made very clear -...

    And so it came to pass, Nostradamus' predictions came true. At the EGM2, met the just newly recruited Nominet Key Account Manager (nice enough guy - can't remember his name). First of many ? No mention of any new Nominet offices in New York, Toronto, Melbourne, Frankfurt...... yet

    There may be some anxiety out there, particularly from larger and medium sized members that after the EGM2 proposals being approved, Nominet could offer gtlds (.COM .NET .ORG .EU etc). To allay any concerns, it would be helpful if the Nominet Chairman or Managing Director made a categoric...

    Sorry if we have been misunderstanding each other. Nominet's Scope Consultation Summary refers to "Selling other gTLDs (.com, .eu)" : There was broad support for Nominet being able to sell other gTLDs such as .com, .eu and .org. and the idea of Nominet being a sole supplier for all an...

    The discussion seems to have moved forward such that the proposed New Memorandum will allow Nominet to compete with its members - but won't. I guess we're making headway now. Yes I can. Simply buy an already established registrar. Nominet has loads of cash. The proposed change of...

    Think very carefully about what you have just said, Hazel. You don't see any problem with Nominet being in competition with its members. How do you think large and medium sized registrars like Tucows, Schlund, and other registrars etc (and all resellers of registrars) will feel about...

    Hazel I never mentioned web hosting companies. Only Gordon changed it and now you follow the same line. I hadn't said web-hosting companies, but referred to Domain Parking, Foreign cctlds companies as being very likely candidates, for starters ( I later added DNS Management companies)...
