    Thailand

    Seems they backtracked - damage done though, all cancelled now. What were they thinking? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-09/thailand-scraps-vaccine-proof-requirement-for-foreign-visitors

    Thailand

    We had a voucher from BA that we had to spend by the September this year, kind of tied to BA for this one. But yes I will check those next time thanks. I did see BA cancelled the Bangkok route in September 2022. I think the Ukraine / Russia air space thing made it a touch harder to make a...

    Thailand

    Just been onto the hotel we booked and amazingly they have offered a full refund. That's a very nice gesture as it isn't their fault. On to BA when it opens at 06:00 UK time, hopefully they will do something similar. I feel for the tourist venues in Thailand, this makes no sense and is going...

    Thailand

    Need to have proof of a Covid 19 Vaccine to enter the country. As I and my partner won't take it, that means we can't get into Thailand now. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/thailand-covid-vaccination-proof-requirement-travellers-b2256667.html

    Thailand

    Thailand just brought in their Vax passport thing again. We've just cancelled our trip to Koh Samui in February. Have had this booked for a while. Won't be trusting that country again.

    Nominet spent £135k on a book - of no value to them today

    Nominet say they have no record of anyone authorising Howarth to make this payment for his own benefit. Nominet's current board don't seem to be interested in finding out who if anyone authorised this. If nobody authorised it, then it's possibly a criminal issue. If someone did authorise it...

    Nominet Kieren McCarthy to join Nominet Board

    Not my rep, unless I want some childish memes posted into a serious adult debate. Then I'll email you.

    Nominet Accused of Misleading Members about Subscription Fees

    I really hope this isn't a deliberate attempt at misdirection from Nominet. This is how to turn the clock back 10-15 years.

    New domain expiry process and droplists for .uk

    I think people should try to define what is "fairness" in this issues. Is it someone turning up with no skills, no input, no research and catching the same? If that is the case then it's the same fairness that will lead to multi taggers catching more, as they will just get more tags. What is...

    Nominet Election

    If you'd been reading @Trauiner posts for a while, this would be obvious.

    Looking for your vote, UK domainers. AMA

    I think it was more the EGM. I can't remember if it was announced before or after, but I believe it had more to do with that. I only have about 30 names, so wasn't a big help to me. I would like to see more of them though.

    Large portfolio owners may benefit from higher prices if it means new started can get decentish reg fee names, if it leads to the ext being used more for active websites. Every active brand advertising a .co.uk or .UK is adding to the reputation of the ext. I just mean that if we dropped it to...

    Trouble is, we don't want to get a position where people are just renewing everything without a second thought. The whole extension will be stagnant with names not available and unused, this might be even worse if new websites can't get a foothold on even the most basic of reg fee name.

    There is also a case where things may have gone on, and Nominet could get some money back. Directors of a company that lost $25m on a purchase that was written off, then re-animated by previous Directors for free, would be sort of interested in finding out? I'm not saying there has or there...

    Talking about the issues going back to 2008 when Jim resigned. They didn't sue Jim because he disagreed with them on some minor issue in the board room, he was whistleblowing on wider Governance problems that another director resigned on. Minor differences don't instantly turn out into legal...

    Looking for your vote, UK domainers. AMA

    Kieren, you seem to be bringing a lot of misunderstood baggage from 10 years ago into this process. That is some stretch of the imagination. How about, you take your arguments into the board room, sell to them why an investigation would be a good idea, why not having one wouldn't be a good...

    That's Simon's problem and I won't be voting for him again. What is the harm in an independent inquiry into it? What are people scared to find out? The Barrister's opinion says there is a very good chance Nominet's weighted voting is unlawful, and it should never have changed from one member...
