Nominet Appeals to Members to Vote

Forthcoming AGM and Nominet wishes to appoint more Directors. Interesting stats from AGM FAQ
clipped from www.nominet.org.uk
Nominet has changed a lot in the 12 years since it was formed. We used to have 100 members, now we have nearly 3,000. In 1996 there were 26,000 domain names on the .uk register, now there are nearly 7,000,000. Our turnover has grown to over £15m. We have a unique, and important function on which many UK citizens and businesses depend: in 2006, the value of sales over the Internet in 2006 was £130.4 bn, and over 2/3 of companies are using the internet to assist their business (source: ONS, 2007 quoted in the Byron review).
