Yes strongly agreed and Randy thanks for raising this here.

as i recall, CIRA, the Canadian equivilent of Nominet, a few years ago, made some serious changes to its structure/by-laws/etc in order to prevent/reduce the possibility of a similar "take-over". other registries might want to take note.

dear uk sisters, brothers, and undecideds,

if you are a nomintet voting member or know someone who is, i strongly encourage you to read these two documents, <http://www.nominet.org.uk/governance/board/election/> and particularly <http://www.nominet.org.uk/digitalAssets/28780_call_to_action_letter_web.pdf>, and to vote the candidates running against the greedy domainer slime trying to capture nominet.

thanks for listening.

randy
