FAIR ACCESS / A CLEAR ANSWER
Enough is enough.
Ask Nominet for fair access, consistent rules and a proper investigation.
We ask Nominet to ensure fair access and consistent rules for drop catching and backordering in the .UK namespace. Please investigate arrangements that coordinate the use of separately allocated registrar access, explain earlier assurances, and publish clear rules and consistent enforcement before the scheduled transition on 9 February 2027.
Registrars should be required to declare collaborations that coordinate the catching or backordering of expiring domains. Nominet should assess those arrangements under its connection-declaration and anti-avoidance provisions, apply shared limits where the rules require them, and publish clear criteria for those decisions. Separately allocated access should not undermine a level playing field.
These observations warrant scrutiny; they do not establish common control or decide whether any registrar has broken the rules. We are asking for a transparent investigation and consistent enforcement.
Read the Registry–Registrar Agreement and Acceptable Use Policies.
