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.
