Nominet Board Member Resigns

January 19, 2009 by Michele Neylon

Jim Davies, who was at the centre of a recent debacle involving Nominet, has tendered his resignation from the board.

In a letter to Bob Gilbert, which Mr Davies also posted to a members’ mailing list this afternoon, Davies cited his continued disagreement with the Board’s conduct and that of the organisation’s executives as reasons for his resignation. Oddly enough no mention appears to have been made of the contract that he had refused to sign.

I touched on some of this debacle back in November
