I have a confession to make. I have historically been a little sceptical about the role of global “discussion groups” and some of the international debates surrounding Internet issues. I take it back.
Today, I attended the Parliament and Internet conference and came away feeling inspired and enlightened. I gained an understanding of why the preservation [...]

This growth rate outpaces other well known Top Level Domains [...]

Good morning,
Yesterday, I posted a bit “on-list” about my views on the results of the Nominet governance review so thought I’d include them here too. I’ll update later with more – am working on some PAB stuff this morning and then have a few meetings; hope to be back online by early evening.
