It was nice to briefly exchange with you, wishing you all the best for the future.

Congratulations Phil. I must admit I expected Susannah to win based on her video submissions, she comes across very well and would have been quite deserving. In any case, I hope the appointment works out. In my short exposure to Nominet I can see there is unrest with a portion of the members...

Haha Ian :D Thanks @Ben Thomas, it's fairly WYSIWYG with me, and I appreciate that people may consider me an outsider. A fresh / unbiased perspective could be beneficial for Nominet.

Hi everyone, thanks for those who've made personal contact with me on Linked In. If anyone else has any question or just wants to say hi, it would be great to hear from you (contact details are in the OP). And if you didn't see it already, you'll get to experience the 'real me' in this 2 minute...

I've been working with the Institute of Physics this year. Really nice people and trying very hard to do the right thing. In fact they tried to get me to persuade my daughter to switch to physics when I told them she was going to study biology at uni! (No chance, she loves biology!)...

Great that more females are studing computing. When I did Computer Science from 1989, my degree course had 130 students, of which only 6 were female. With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, it will surely be a big employment opportunity for those with the right skills, including...

Hello Ben, that's perfectly fine, it's all about weighing up the pro's and con's and making your own decision. I'd like to think you have at least considered my input before making a choice, and if that is the case then fair play. I've actually been contacted privately by some members to...

Thanks James. From the off I've tried to be transparent in that I'm not arriving here with pre-conceived ideas and a specific agenda. A lot of my work involves meeting with groups of people with different perspective to try and find common ground and influence changes in ways of working to the...

I've heard this sentiment from others also. Do you think there is something missing ie something that Nominet should be providing that they are not? Or is it just about the fees and renewals?

What sort of engagement do you think members would like from Nominet? Looking at the "why join Nominet" info the main engagement seems to be around events, which unfortunately in the current climate are not possible face-to-face. My friend Bev Clues tells me these events in the past have been...

Sorry you feel that way. I can only speak for myself, but I'd like to think I'm a bit better than "weak" as you put it! If you have already taken the the time to read the above election statement and still have this opinion of me then fair enough, I don't expect to change your mind. I look...

Hi James, that's interesting, I wonder if the people at Nominet realise this, likely this is also the case for other member companies. I'm guessing that doesn't explain all of the 90% that do not vote though, there may be other reasons. Shame because with any membership organisation you want...

I'd like to ask a question. Coming from the outside of Nominet, I'm surprised that there is apparently such a low turn out for voting, somewhere around the 10% mark. Why do you think that is?

Hello, my name is David Barnes and I am very pleased to meet you! As a complete outsider to Nominet, it will hopefully help you in the forthcoming Nominet Exec Director election by providing some info. You may wish to know why I am standing for election, and why should you vote for me? The...
