Candidates in the Nominet elections have published manifestos regarding what they would do on the board. In 2006 winners had to reinstate calls after a revote so Nominet hope to avoid this happening again. Nominet is a not-for-profit organisation with a turnover of around £14m. They are responsible for administering the .uk Domain Name system. 3,000 members are voting for two non-executive director positions on the board. The company is often criticised and last year accepted that some dispute resolution rules are out of date and slow. It tried to reorganise corporate and prompted a series of General Meetings over the future. Top brass want to expand the remit to bid for contracts other than .uk.

Candidates are (Dickie Armour, general manager of Fibranet, who run domain registrar Freeparking. Armour thinks Nominet should explain their role better to the public, and set up a foundation for surplus to internet projects for school leavers), Peter Gradwell (Email and VoIP provider Gradwell.com Ltd. He wants Nominet to develop more tools for domain name registrars, and lobby them in communications industry forums and seconds the move for a charitable foundation), Angus Hanton (Giant Games Ltd, who run domain registrar giraffe.co.uk. He thinks Nominet should do more to promote .uk domains to help ISPs. Hanton a losing candidate who cried foul last year). Sebastien Lahtinen (a four year veteran of Nominet's policy board, and co-founder of the ISP forum ADSLguide.org.uk, now called thinkbroadband.com. He would aim to increase participation in affairs by creating a member involvement officer position), Michael Toth, (he runs a domain name registry, Michael wants Nominet to use their surplus for cutting prices and to fund a project to combat spam and phishing), Jonathan Robinson (current board member, but must stand for reelection. He thinks the organisation is running well, but needs to stay responsive).
