This morning my mailbox appears to be bulging with the same spam multiple times advertising namedrive.com. The 50th message has just come in. Could someone from namedrive.com please PM me your contact email address and telephone number to discuss this? Gordon

Firstly please note I am not in any way suggesting your emails were or were not spam covered by the law (I have no idea if they were or not) but wanted to highlight in answer to the above that the jurisdiction that matters (at least in the Scottish legal system) is that of the recipient, not of...

It covers any "Individual Subscriber" and an "Individual Subscriber" can be: 1. a residential subscriber, 2. a sole trader 3. an unincorporated partnership in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

They can be under the EU PECR regulations. If the recipient business is a sole trader rather than a limited company they are protected by the same PECR regulations that cover individuals.

It's like the account-id but for referencing nameservers. You can now have 2 domains with identical DNS records, for example.... key: domain1.co.uk dns0-id: ns0001 dns1-id: ns0002 key: domain2.co.uk dns0-id: ns0001 dns1-id: ns0002 While that's like what you had before, the...

But what is the business incentive to do this? Have you considered how Nominet thrives because of its network of approximately 3000 people selling their product as an add on to other products that Nominet doesn't supply? There are few people that just want a domain name. They buy our product...

I understand you are saying that but I've been trying to understand why you think that not just the fact you think it. Interesting interpretation of the section you quoted, you quoted the "I want to hear views" which was a response to Jac's statement not a question. I am here to hear views...

I'm not actually suggesting anything. I am trying to determine if the objection to 3+3+3 is based upon. If it is based upon the ability to out vote then I wonder if there are objections to weighting voting within the board. I am asking questions at this stage, not giving solutions nor giving...

I can understand why people have concerns on 3 + 3 + 3 but I have still not heard from anyone explaining why 3 + 3 + 3 can't be used with some form of "special status" for those that are directly elected? I'd love to hear views... I'm not arguing for any particular proposals but I am...

erm, they would do - the proposals are for them to be in place for the same length of term as the other type of non-execs and retire by rotation as per the other non-execs, thus re-appointment would need voted on at the AGM. On reflection I accept this is perhaps not clear from the web site...

From what it says their entire setup appears to be rather like the one the Nominet board has propose. Note ALL non-execs need to be voted on by the members at an AGM not just what we've termed the "elected" ones. The proposal is to use two different voting methods for the different types but...

That depends on how you are trying to portray your company. Over the years I've been involved with web sites that very specifically were ".uk" but aimed at the American market and it was a deliberate choice to use the ".uk" domain. Equally there are plenty aimed at the UK using a ".com" or...

How any national domain is set up and run is ultimately a decision for the government and local internet community in that country and not a choice for me or any individual or company. Andrew highlighted that UK domains are among the cheapest domains available, so presumably it isn't an...

If you have any evidence of people breaching the contract then do let me know in a private email. So do you use your ".cc" domains to target people in the Cocos Islands? Who do you target with your ".mobi" domains? Nobody can take anything away from the members. They will always have...

Apologies if I misunderstood you. I'm not sure I understand what you were replying to then? Very good questions - what would you like to see done? Can I ask then what factors you consider in the registration of your domains? What TLDs do you have domains registered in? This one...

Andrew, You appear to be glossing over the fact the Board already have control of registrar contract fees. There are only two pricing elements that the board does not have control over: 1. Membership subscriptions and; 2. Registration fees. Other pricing has always been in the control...

The PAB is the Policy Advisory Body, it doesn't sanction anything, it gives advice on policy. It has always been the Board and Executive that control access limits that are in place. It is true we normally take the PABs advice but that is not always the case nor are we required to. I...

I'm curious as to why you appear to think this is a significant change? Out of interest who do you think controls these things at the moment? Gordon

OB, I wasn't suggesting anyone was saying "this is a quality response" so listen to it more than that one... I was merely meaning that something that is understandable and reasoned through will obviously help people understand better. The better Nominet can understand what your concerns are...

Yes, that is correct. The sub-com report goes to the January PAB meeting and the January PAB meeting will have to accept/ammend/etc as appropriate. (It is possible, though less likely, that this could happen post-PAB meeting - it depends how the debate in the meeting goes with regards to...
