Thanks for the support guys!

Well, the election has started. You can find my position on things on my personal webpage - www.jimdavies.me.uk

My main focus is on keeping costs neutral; working out how to stop/deal with the surplus (BTW I think legally that rebates may well be possible, but to registrars/registrants, not to members); reject special resolution 6 (the one about appointed non-execs) as it does not follow current company best practice; instead propose that all directors are put up for re-election (as per best practice); suggest greater transparency and accountability and a look at the mechanics of how the DRS operates.

Be warned, I will be emailing/PMing/calling a lot of you over the next few days! I also welcome any questions or queries.

Please vote - a big turnout is always a good thing.

Jim

Just say NO to Special Resolution 6!

The very best of luck Jim!!!

It's interesting to note that two of the candidates are opposed to special resolution 6 (Jim & Rob) - (in my personal capacity I think quite right too) and I'm to understand at least one of the current board members is also opposed to SR6, albeit this is hearsay.

So hopefully we will have a situation after the election with 3 board members out of the 4 who have been voted for by the membership not supporting the current board position! This I feel will be interesting, but I do hope if nothing else members on this forum will vote for Jim for the board and vote no for Special Resolution 6 so that as members you don't loose your controling interest on the board!

Regards,

Sneezy.

I also welcome any questions or queries.

Your starter for 10: If you are successfully elected, would this conflict you (and/or your firm) out from working on DRS cases and/or other client legal matters involving Nominet?

I have no issue regardless of your answer, I'm just curious :mrgreen:.
