Extraordinary response by .uk registry operator effectively dares members to fire the rest of them Share Copy Nominet has rejected calls for serious change at the .uk registry operator despite losing its CEO, chairman, and three board members to a membership vote earlier this month. Members were expecting the board to announce the appointment of two caretaker directors to take over as chair and vice-chair after the stunning upset, especially after acting chair Rob Binns made reconciliatory remarks and promised to take their concerns seriously. On Wednesday, however, the remaining six board members went the opposite direction [PDF]: they refused to appoint the proposed directors and instead put themselves in charge of a six-month process to replace the fired board members.
