Over the past three years, members have brought real change to Nominet. Together, we’ve kept .UK prices stable, strengthened UKRAC, ended risky side projects, and put member engagement at the heart of the company.
I’m standing for re-election to lock in those reforms, keep .UK strong and secure, and make sure members always have an independent voice on the Board.

What We’ve Achieved Together
- No price rises in three years.
- Stronger UKRAC – now a forum where issues get resolved, not ignored.
- Proper member consultation on key policies.
- Exit from unprofitable cybersecurity ventures, focus back on .UK.
Progress is real. But it’s not guaranteed.

My Priorities for the Next Term
We’ve Made Real Progress – Let’s Lock It In
Embed reforms so they last beyond individual directors or board cycles. No return to secrecy and drift.
Keep .UK Strong, Secure, and Member-Focused
Protect your margins with price stability and transparency. Ensure operational stability and advance notice of any changes.
Independent Voice, Constructive Change
I’ll keep asking tough questions, but with the experience to turn challenge into action. No conflicts of interest — representing all members equally.
