Hi all,
I decided to apply for a Nominet membership 2 weeks ago after acquiring several UK domains recently, with a view to getting my own tag. I filled in all the relevant details, sent photos of my ID they requested and patiently waited. After a week I was emailed and asked why I was seeking membership and I explained that I was interested in discounted registrations and renewals and to use my own tag to manage my portfolio as it grows.
Another week passed by and a few minutes ago I received an email stating they regret to inform me "that at this time your application has not been approved by our legal counsel" and that I will be receiving a refund. I have no idea why that would be the case. I am located in Australia but I know that many members are outside the UK. I'm totally baffled as to why they rejected my application. The domains I own are generic, and I can't have broken any rules by just applying!
