    Expiry clause 5.3.6 update

    I think the new clause in revised 5.3.6 tries to address this: That suggests to me - whatever you may have buried in your T&Cs - you have to engage in a new permission-obtaining transaction with the Registrant during the expiry window. However, in practice - how would we as competitors...

    Can Nominet legally dish out .uk domain names to anyone they choose

    They cannot give anything of value to the Government without the Government going through proper public procurement. I cannot buy lunch for clients in the public sector.

    7 days left until .uk consultation closes on September 22

    I have yet to complete my submission. I need to find half a day to review the materials, and I shall be referring to Edwin and Stephen's exhaustive work. I personally find the countdowns and reminders very helpful
