I think the government should take over as nominet and their members are corrupt and this corruption needs to stop now…….

@ Andrew: I think you should differentiate between “the focus” i.e. Nominet’s focus and my focus i.e. what I have pulled out as most noteworthy. The Mutuo report goes into much more than the domainer/secondary market issue.

I do think the study was done too quickly but given the tight timeline that Nominet is under, I can understand the rush. I think you really need to look at this as an opportunity to gain some understanding on both sides and find a solution before one is found for you by civil servants.

Re: The Big Three. I knew it, I knew I’d be wrong. I couldn’t find the latest figures on who had what votes so I took the ones from last time and figured I’d be wrong on one. Thanks – I will change the text above and leave this comment here so people can see I changed the original post.

Just wanted to correct you on a few things Kieren….

Five PAB members that had a background in the secondary market (I presume this is what you mean by controversial) were asked to attend a Mutuo focus group called “Secondary market”.

Only three of these PAB members attended the event including myself – I made it clear I was attended as an elected PAB member.

We were asked the same questions as all the other focus groups – however focus now seems to be on our responses.

Please tell me how three individuals can be representative of a multi-million pound secondary market which includes Nominet’s largest members?

In my opinion all this is about is changing the voting rights of Nominet or forcing through past EGM changes which failed.

The secondary market will still exisit even without its voting rights and even under increased prices.

BTW the big three are now actually: GX Networks Ltd, Schlund & Partner (Fasthosts/Sedo are linked) & NetBenefit UK Ltd.
