The ongoing battle at Nominet, the .uk domain name registry, “has been the unlikely location for a corporate soap opera, complete with scandals, villains, twists and turns, allegations of corruption, resignations, grand plans thwarted at the last minute and some nasty in-fighting that has left people alternatively amazed, entertained and worried,” writes Kieren McCarthy on his blog.With resignations of directors and frantic efforts to tidy up, McCarthy notes that a recent report by Professor Bob Garratt “delivered a surprisingly frank and blunt assessment. In it, he told Nominet – and Nominet’s members – that they had to sort out a list of issues, and they had to sort them out fast.””In effect, he gave Nominet three months to live.”To read this report in full, and McCarthy’s analysis of what needs to be done and how Nominet CEO Lesley Cowley says she is going to do it, see the blog posting at:
