You didn't appear to miss the point in the thread above. My point is perhaps Miss Oakey & co would like to come online and explain what DAC or Automaton does.

Im sure that some of them are perhaps girlfriends of renowned catchers, and they themselves have no real interest in domains. A neat way of getting around rules and to prove would be hard. Im not singling out anyone in particular but of course it is going on.

I have not checked all their registrations however I would guess they are all opted out and using 123-reg or the like nameservers - ie. nothing identifiable.
What is going to be fun is to see where the registrations end up, the most comic of the female catchers was the very successful Miss S H B**** from a while ago, who picked up a few nice ones that have now moved on.
There was another post on here that a 'new tag' regged a three letter however deleted it soon after - perhaps the new tag / dac holders are not fully up with how things work and they accidently hit delete?
If Nominet made public which tags were linked it could show interesting patterns... likewise if anyone has been told off for erm, 'sharing' quotas
further to this:
Actually this unusual pattern of new tag holders caught our eye as well and so we were already investigating when complaints were received.
Your post has illustrated the bigger problem though, which is that we do not publish details of linked tags, so many people think they are getting away with it. This is something we are now considering changing.

Nom have had a look and found nothing fishy I assume?
With regards to the last point, are the details going to be published and if not why not?

Further to this domains mentioned in that previous thread are:
WHOIS Query - BENNET
WHOIS Query - BENNET
WHOIS Query - LORE - (this is the one that got deleted it seems unless deleting.co.uk gives duff info)
Perhaps someone could log / do occasional PRSS search and then compare in a few months time?
This is classic... just PRSSed 'Rebecca Oakey' ... guess where she is from... MILTON KEYNES!

All previous catches on the LORE tag that I've seen have since been transferred or deleted/reregged to this same individual - funny that! Not that I'm suggesting anything untoward is going on, obviously
I agree that the linked Tags need to be shown somewhere on the nom site.
Dont think this thread will last long !!

Going back to the original batch of same surname female tags that suddenly appeared a while back, I'm sure Nominet must have looked into this and linked the tags, even with the limited info I have a quick seach on 192.com would seem to indicate 2 of the tags live together.
Can't see why Nominet would have any reason not to show linked tags, would maybe act as a deterrent to stop anyone who might decide to try and ignore the 'Anti Avoidance Clause'.
There you go admin no names mentioned

irespective of any 'tax reasons' Nominets rules on associated members - members not tags, though tags can be linked - are quite clear. Any connection results in an increased cumulative dac quota which is prohibited. Allocations would be amalgamated.
I'm all for Nominet publishing data... bit like ID cards, only those with something to hide would be nervous.
