Evening everyone,
Many thanks to all those who voted for me and for your congratulations – they are much appreciated! I’m delighted to have won a seat! The candidates were very strong this year and I think it was a very close call. Congratulations to Clive Grace and to Jonathan Robinson – I’m really looking forward to working together with them and the other Board Members during this exciting time in Nominet’s development.
Best wishes,
Nora
A very good morning to you all!
Off to Nominet’s AGM today and to the stakeholder meeting afterwards – hope to see some of you there. Will update later. In other news – domain prices on the secondary market are on the increase; first green shoots? Read more here!
Best wishes,
Nora
Afternoon!
Am so glad the heatwave appears to be over – back to normality! Don’t think I’m cut out for tropical climes…
Busy day today – just popped on to update on last night. The Nominet Best Practice Awards event held yesterday evening in London was great! It was a really valuable opportunity to meet .uk stakeholders with whom I would otherwise have little contact. The diversity of attendees was remarkable and it was great to see success in areas which so often go overlooked, get recognized in such a meaningful way by Nominet. The venue was of course, wonderful – I almost gave myself neckstrain looking at the beautiful ceiling at Banqueting hall! Congratulations to all who participated and of course, special thanks to the Nominet team who did a marvellous job in hosting a very successful evening!
Best wishes,
Nora
Morning all!
Thursday’s my favourite day of the week – Monday is safely but a memory and the whole day seems longer with anticipation of Friday! As a PAB Member, I’m attending the Nominet Best Practice Event this evening in London – should be a good opportunity to catch up with some of the much-discussed “normal people” 
and wider stakeholders of .uk – including policy makers, government body representatives, charities, educational agencies and even a few registrars. Hope to see a few of you there?
I was chatting to some Members yesterday and am keen to learn what YOU would like to see from Non Exec Directors at Nominet? What attributes and skills other than the necessary ones do you see as important in making your choice? Which of the criteria from the job description do you find “a must” in a Nominet NED? What aspects of a candidate’s statement do you consider most important in deciding your vote? Is your voting issues-based? Or personal? Or based on your evaluation of the candidate’s ability to do the job and fulfill the criteria outlined in the NED job spec?
Would love to hear your views! As always, call/email or comment here – would be good to hear from you!
