https://publicbenefit.uk/ have called an Extraordinary General Meeting to kick the directors out of Nominet. I guess there are other co-techers who are also Nominet members?
It looks like there are already enough members’ votes to make this happen, but it seems like a very positive move to challenge Nominet’s slide away from Not for Profit, so now’s the time to pledge support!
I’ve just registered Webarchitects support with 212 domains / 1,543 votes in favour of the resolution, I see you just beat us @edmaw with your 264 domains / 1,595 votes!
The next steps are not that certain. The remainder of the board still have power to drive Nominet in a more or less commercial route if they choose. The campaign proposed 2 new directors, but that motion was rejected by the board before the vote (not by the members). Now the campaign have imposed a deadline for the board to provide an update on their plans for meeting the campaign’s criticisms, some plans were presented before the vote but were not impressive enough to save the directors.
I expect that things will calm down a bit in any case, which may create space for the board to do the
right thing inshallah!
inshallah!
