Nominet got this wrong
Nominet did not write to customers using the post office ..they simply sent one email.which was caught in as spam by virtually all spam software..
The email was never received by many domain name owners..
For something so important to a business how can you give the business one weeks notice especially as .uk was the ccTLD that the domain owners in the uk should have had on the first place.
It’s a real sad affair
I believe nominet got this wrong.
