Call for domain name code of practice 

21/11/2002 

UK domain name outfit Internetters has called on Nominet UK to take the "moral high ground" and set up and fund a code of practice in a bid to stamp out cowboy domain sellers. 

Internetters claims the UK domain name industry must police itself or face the threat of external regulation. 

This latest call for an industry-wide code of practice follows a warning from Nominet UK earlier this week in which it named and shamed a company for using sales tactics that "pressurised" people into buying domains. 

Internetters claims that one-off warnings such as this aren't enough and wants Nominet UK - the national Registry for all domain names ending .uk - to take a lead, even if this means that the cost of buying a domain increases for end users. 

In a statement, Internetters said that Nominet's naming and shaming gives the "misconception that the public can rely on Nominet as a governing body which oversees citizen's interests by highlighting all dubious .uk domain name practices - be warned, this is not the case." 

Nominet UK's MD, Lesley Cowley, rejected the claims saying that a code of practice just among domain registrars was just "not feasible".
