contact all registrants
Thanks for that researched post.
Also I think it is worth pointing out that under there "contract" with all registrars I believe Nominet have the right to contact all registrants with relevant information that would effect them.
Although nominet decided unilaterally that .uk was to be a new product rather than a migration that many have suggested it should be, they still gave some rights to existing registrants and therefore those registrants should be consulted, to find out if they feel those rights were adequate?
..... So Nominet could have emailed limited companies and other 'corporate subscribers' to ask for feedback. I cannot think of any reason why a responsible registry would not have taken up this opportunity.
There are around 1.3m Limited Companies in the UK. Most Limited Companies will have a website and most will operate from a .co.uk domain name. There is simply no excuse for not reaching out to these companies. It's worth noting that the Data Protection Act also does not apply to Limited Companies. I cannot believe that Nominet are not aware of these facts.
