Nominet board results in

July 2004

The results of the board elections for the .uk domain registrar are in - and it's out with the old and in with the new.

Former member of its Public Advisory Board, Gordon Dick has been elevated to the six-strong deciding unit of Nominet, alongside existing board member Fay Howard. Unfortunately that means Stephen Dyer has been replaced after four years at the top.

Gordon previously said his decision to stand was in order to give Nominet members a choice and added in his election statement that a "regular but steady churn of CoM members helps to invigorate Nominet and ensures that complacency and arrogance does not have a chance to set in".

Well, that what members have voted for - although we can exactly work out how. The board elections are complicated by the fact that 25 per cent of the vote is given equally to each member (one member, one vote) but the remaining 75 per cent is weighted according to how significant that member is - namely how many domains they have registered that year.
