Dear ISOC England members,<br>
<br>
I am following up on the Nominet consultation which I had emailed
you about in my message below.<br>
We have taken your comments and produced a draft statement which is
now on:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://isoc-e.org/uk-sld/">http://isoc-e.org/uk-sld/</a><br>
<br>
Please be so kind to take the week-end, until Monday 7 January 2013,
12:00 UTC, so review the draft statement and comment on it. In the
afternoon of Monday 7 January 2013, we'll be looking at your
comments and amend the statement accordingly.<br>
<br>
Best Wishes,<br>
<br>

Dear ISOC England members,<br>
<br>
<br>
By now most of you should be aware that Nominet, the organisation
in charge of coordinating the .UK top level domain, has launched a
consultation asking for feedback on the proposal to sell domain
names directly under .UK rather than the current hierarchy of
.CO.UK, .ORG.UK etc.<br>
<br>
For a copy of the Nominet email incorporating all the links to
further information, please scroll down to the message below.<br>
<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">This proposed change is
explained as a new service but it also has implications for
current domain name holders under .UK since someone might be
able to register your domain name directly under .UK if the
proposal goes ahead.<br>
<br>
Whilst we at ISOC England encourage everyone to comment directly
into the Nominet comment process, we are also evaluating whether
a community comment should be filed by ISOC England. In the true
spirit of generating discussion and finding about the opinion of
our members in the UK, I would like to invite you all to record
your comments on the ISOC England Web site at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://isoc-e.org/uk-sld/">http://isoc-e.org/uk-sld/</a><br>
<br>
Our timetable is as follows:<br>
<br>
- ISOC England call for comments starts now<br>
- End of initial call for comments period: 17 December 2012<br>
- Release of first draft statement (on the ISOC England Web
Site): 21 December 2012<br>
- Call for further comments, namely on draft statement: 21
December 2012<br>
- Closing date of further comment period: 2 January 2013<br>
- Release of final statement: 4 January 2013<br>
<br>
This statement will then be sent to the Nominet consultation as
a Statement of the English Chapter of the Internet Society,
based on the input from its membership.<br>
<br>
If you would like to comment but do not wish your comments to be
made public, you are of course very welcome to email them
privately to: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:contact@isoc-e.org">contact@isoc-e.org</a><br>
<br>
All comments received will be integrated into the ISOC England
document without specific attribution. Our aim is to provide
Nominet with a general idea of the level of support for the
direct.uk proposal from our membership.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
or to contact the ISOC England Leadership Team on: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:contact@isoc-e.org">contact@isoc-e.org</a><br>
<br>
We look forward to receiving your comments.<br>
