Nominet Public Audit Platform Ensuring Legal Compliance and Transparency
Statement of Purpose
Why We Exist
Nominet controls the .uk namespace, one of the UK’s most important pieces of digital infrastructure. It presents itself as a guardian of trust and public benefit, yet its policies and practices have raised serious concerns about fairness, transparency, and accountability.
Our Purpose and Objectives:
NominetAudit.com exists to put the spotlight on how Nominet operates and highlight and damage being caused by their actions and inactions .
We Will:
· Expose practices that undermine UK SMEs and the wider public.
· Audit governance, policies, and conflicts of interest.
· Hold accountable an organisation that has for too long acted without proper scrutiny.
Some of The Issues We Can and Will Address:
· Drop-Catching Cartels, A handful of insiders monopolise valuable expired domains while genuine UK businesses are locked out.
· Dispute Resolution Conflicts , Cases that show disturbing links between DRS panellists and parties under dispute, raising fundamental questions of impartiality.
· Public Benefit vs Private Gain, Nominet is bound to act for the public good, yet its record suggests insiders benefit while SMEs are left behind.
· Economic Harm, By failing to nurture a fair, competitive .uk space, Nominet has contributed to a digital economy where American corporations triumph and UK start-ups struggle to survive.
Our Directive
We will:
· Audit Nominet’s governance, finances, and decision-making.
· Investigate conflicts of interest in domain disputes.
· Document the real-world impact on UK SMEs.
· Campaign for reforms that restore trust, fairness, and public benefit to the .uk namespace.
Why are we doing this?
We are not auditing for personal gain. We are safeguarding:
· UK SMEs who deserve a fair chance to succeed online.
· Entrepreneurs and start-ups who need affordable, transparent access to domains.
· The general public, who expect accountability from those who manage critical UK infrastructure.
