From 15 September, Nominet will begin emailing registrants with rights to a short .uk

[mojoco]

We’re emailing to let eligible registrants know that:

o The short .uk equivalent of their UK domain has been reserved for them

o This reservation is free, and they are under no obligation to pay anything extra (unless they choose to register the short .uk domain)

Shame they couldn't email before at consultation stage...

True, but we can't turn the clock back. At least they are finally going to take action, which can only be good for general awareness.

Has anybody received a Nominet notification of rights to .UK domain email ? Nothing received by any of my (non domain) business contacts yet.

So much for this being too big a job to do before .uk came about.

So funny, they should go on tour!

Was watching a programme on 4od yesterday.

An advert came on for the .UK from Nominet.

Going on about it being a shorter and better and welcome to the new .uk

Can't find it on youtube yet.

I've received an email about this today. I have some domains with Crazy Domains, so I imagine that's why I've been sent it this week, as per the schedule.

There were 3 sample domains listed, two starting with a 3 and the other with an A, so I guess they're sending them out in numeric, then alphabetic order each week.

Exactly what everyone assumed, but not necessarily what the consultation ran on. All those arguments about freeing up domain space!
