Nominet is a private, not-for-profit company that has members rather than shareholders.  Any organisation with an interest in the Internet can become a member of Nominet by paying a subscription fee.  Members have voting rights and can have access to reduced domain name registration and renewal fees.  Our members usually offer their customers a range of services that are not available from us, such as web site design, hosting and email forwarding.

Our members contribute to the running of the company in a number of ways:

• by voting at Annual General Meetings
• by electing non-executive Directors to the Board
• by participating in on-line discussion groups to share views and ideas on how Nominet should operate.

Nominet Board

We have a Board comprising up to three executives, up to three appointed non-executive directors and four elected non-executive directors.  Of the four elected non-executive directors, two (or one if there are less than three in office) stand down and are subject to re-appointment by election of the Members.

 

.uk policy process

We have a .uk policy process which puts stakeholders at the centre of the process and focuses on issues, which are dealt with in specially convened Issue Groups.  The Issue Groups should be balanced, bringing in a range of views and expertise whose recommendations will be passed to the Nominet Board.
