This is a story about how I lost $10,000,000 by doing something stupid.
Ten. Million. Dollars.
Literally up in smoke. Money bonfire.
That’s enough to retire with $250,000+ in annual income.
Here’s what happened…
@publicbenefituk@Nominet This is a really good result, considering that Nominet not once mentioned who Public Benefit are, so that people could make their own mind up. I wonder how many members voted "no" but not really sure why. The next few hours will be interesting. They will have prepared for this...
@publicbenefituk@CESvotes@Nominet They have fought tooth and nail all the way through. I am not surprised at all and will not be surprised by anything, sadly.
@Nominet I voted yes, partly because of what I had read on Publicbenefit, but primarily because of the way that this board attacked instead of creating a mechanism for listening. It was relentless. I wonder how much time, energy, resources and therefore money were spent by Nominet on this
The Nominet board, who claim to be "good at engaging with members" have engaged more with members begging them not to vote for the EGM than they have at any point in Nominet's recent history.
So they only really 'engage' when their cosy little bubble is under threat. That's it.
@UK2 with 133,826 votes we are wondering where you stand with this @Nominet EGM and the campaign that @publicbenefituk have created ,as well as how Nominet have put out their own information? A lot of others are in support for this change...
I have just voted "YES" in the EGM. I was happy to listen to both sides, but I have seen how @Nominet are not playing fair, in their design or their communication. Want to know what this is about? View @publicbenefituk
Assuming "all of the information" doesn't include any mention of https://t.co/hCOlsbaacj or @publicbenefituk, you've nailed it @Nominet!
Question for @CESvotes - does this satisfy your T's & C's for not including "intentionally false or misleading" statements?
@publicbenefituk@Nominet Concerned to have not received the email through. I hope they haven't accidentally missed me off the list! Under a different name to this Twitter account, but is there a link I can use or should I just contact Nominet support?
So
@Nominet
have finally called the EGM - March 22nd
Their email repeats the same old FUD;
"No credible alternative plan has been put forward."
This is not true. The remnant board simply needs to appoint the 2 new directors after Resolution 1 passes.
Vote "YES" (please!)
It was actually 575 pages of member's details! (200 was the guestimate from the office)
So @KrystalHosting planted 575 trees in the UK to offset Nominet's nonsense!
