Have to say I was surprised when I saw Michael Lyons's name pop up as a candidate for Nominet chairman. I went searching and found this The Register article[1] about a report he did for Nominet on their future governance and operations[2] which allowed the pieces to click into place. Sir Michael has form for not delivering the answers he was hired to deliver, so the outcome of his report for Nominet is no surprise to me. I think the man is allergic to whitewash[3].

[3] - I worked with Sir Michael on his Lyons Inquiry into Local Government, so this admittedly anecdotal evidence is at least first-hand anecdotal evidence.
