Occom's CEO is on over 300k. Not sure I would want the body whose main job is to keep Rupert Murdoch happy in charge of the Uk registry

- g_p 6y agoA simpler alternative might be to place Nominet under clearer supervision from a more active government departmental supervisor. Ofcom already has many regulatory functions and is being pushed to expand into online harms as well now. Perhaps getting BEIS to carry out more active oversight of Nominet would be a good way to do this? BEIS could certainly provide a competent high-level board member, along the lines of the credibility of the 2 proposed new members as part of resolution 2 of the EGM. Putting Nominet under closer scrutiny would certainly seem to be an option, allowing it to be independent of government, but accountable in situations such as the present one.
- Mauricebranagh 6y agoHmm maybe BEIS (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) having a board seat might be a good idea. Not sure they BEIS have the experience to hold Nominet to account - but hey offer me a grade 6 and id be happy join BEIS.
