Nominet faces showdown with British internet industry: Extraordinary vote called to oust CEO, board members

Re: This is what happens when you don't believe in "red tape"

I guess the new board could put more things in membership control. Members vote every year at the AGM anyway, so resolutions could include (for example) approving board remuneration changes, price changes to domains over a certain percentage or changes in direction.

A lot of members would just like Nominet to look after the .uk name space to a high standard and not interfere with anything else.

Nominet members please vote

The Nominet CEO always treats his members like rubbish. Just now he says that this EGM is led "by a small amount of minority members". No actually 3 of your top 20 largest members have already supported this publicly and more will follow in the next few days. He has destroyed Nominet as it was, taken as much money as he can for himself, shut down the members forum, bought worthless businesses and if you have to deal with them as a business you will now find that their customer support is awful, this is a shambles of an organisation. A shadow of what it was before he joined. Money to good causes down and his salary up whilst the general public have to pay more for domains. Awful. On top of that the chairmen of the board does nothing, seems in awe of the CEO and just let's him do what he likes with no accountability, he is a corporate governance nightmare. If they had any dignity they would resign now and make way for better people. Please if you are a Nominet member vote these board members out.
