"Ms Cowley is keen that Nominet bids for an upcoming contract in the UK for what is called ENUM. Put simply, ENUM links traditional telephone numbers to internet addresses, a sort of e-directory service that provides what many people believe will be the vital link between old and new ways of communicating. That contract could be just the beginning of Nominet challenging the big beasts of the internet on a range of contracts across the globe. Except, under its current governing principles, Nominet is not allowed to bid for ENUM."

"Nominet claim that they need these changes to be able to bid for the UK ENUM registry and similar matters. This is not the case. The existing clauses 3.4 and 5.4 provide sufficient power. But, even if these were judged insufficient, that only justifies widening the objects, not all the other changes. These should be presented and argued on their own merits."
