.UK Announced

[tifosi]

Good point. If it does have governmental approval, then
i'd imagine that this would be fairly easy to check?

What makes you say that?

 

[rhaigh]

What makes you say that?

Because governments tend to have meetings, and record
their actions and intentions. Certainly, the release of .uk
isn't a matter of national security, so any agreement or
understanding should be in the public domain...

Ah, bless. I used to be that green and naive. Many, many, moons and several careers ago!

 

[afx]

totally agree.

"well, it suggests that you are only a transient collector
of ip, with no vested interest in it. Of course, that is
exactly what some of you are"

what/who are you?

Do you suspect "foul play"?

This is simply a re-branding of the business uk name space, nothing more nothing less, and while it should be inconceivable to even think about doing it, they have cloaked the realities by bringing in the security issue.


once upon a time people could leave the front door of their home open and no uninvited visitors would enter, that of course changed with time, and so with the internet, as it grows more focus on security is necessary.
But none of that hides the fact to me that what nominet is doing is a

Re-Branding of the uk business namespace

and in 10 years time people will say what was the .co.uk extension.

And what do I know about you AFX?

And why would you even need to "know where
i'm coming from" unless you wanted to use
that against me in some way.

I'm just a bloke on a forum - challenge me on
what i'm saying, if you don't want to look
insecure and 'needy'...

Happy to challenge what you're saying. I assumed the offer was only open to Bailey.

I don't agree with :

"well, it suggests that you are only a transient collector
of ip, with no vested interest in it. Of course, that is
exactly what some of you are"

Who is making the call on "no vested interest" and on what criteria ? You ? Nominet ? Who ?

It would be helpful, for this thread, if you were
able to direct your thoughts on the matter of
.uk, as opposed to trying to attack me.

But I will quickly answer your question: the above
quote by me is entirely true, and I stand by it
100%.

A 'domainer' is indeed someone who buys domain
names and is assumed to have no "vested" interest
in them.

In this context, "vested" means "no interest in, or
intention to develop". Of course, you will have an
interest in making money (which is fine) but trading
names for sale is not the original intent upon which
registrants 'hold' domains.

Incorrect. It is one of many parallel possible intents, and as legitimate as any other "intent" under Nominet's T&C.

I suspect it's your intention to reduce this thread to an argument on a very subjective matter. I would suggest you open a new thread on domaining or the like and continue the arguement there.

I know the tin foil hat brigade are out in force
now, but I was referring to the term "domainer",
not registrant.

I'm not sure why you're being so defensive. I've no interest in attacking you (or anyone else for that matter). What you say however is up for discussion on a public forum.

I don't agree with your earlier post or the subsequent additions. It appears to me you're talking in absolutes and attempting to pass off your opinions as facts, eg. >> "the above quote by me is entirely true" -- referring to your own assertions on who does and does not have vested interests in their domains.

Ok, I will accept your views, and will apologize
for any misunderstanding re: any of my earlier
comments.



In the spirit of goodwill then, shall we restart the
debate by looking at other aspects of the proposals?

Whenever you're ready, Bailey...

What the Hell is a matter with you ??? :shock: All those green lights gone to your head ???

This is the first time I've read both of your reply posts.

You had implied that I didn't know what I was talking
about, so you now need to outline the comments I
had made that were incorrect...

And be specific

Can I ask who you are and what your motives are?

At the minute with my tin foil hat on of course, I think you are trolling in disrupting discussions for no reason, well I say no reason but then I put my other tin foil hat on and think you might be working for *******.

Perhaps listing some sites or domains would help in declaring your interests...
