The UK internet industry has called for the ousting of the CEO and most of the board of Nominet – the organization that operates the .uk registry – accusing them of lining their own pockets at the expense of charitable causes and millions of ordinary Brits.
In a formal notice that will be served on the not-for-profit member-based org on Monday, a group of nearly 40 internet registrars has demanded a special meeting to vote on two measures: the removal of all non-elected members of the board, including CEO Russell Haworth, and the introduction of two caretaker directors to replace them.
