He's only gone and done it. Ex-Register vulture elected to board of .uk registry
– for ann open non-exec director seat. On Monday, he was picked by the 15 percent of the registry's membership who turned out to vote; one of the issues with Nominet is that its election turnouts are generally low.[PDF], McCarthy was just behind Davies in the first round of voting, but screamed ahead to win when Greimann was eliminated. His board seat has a three-year term.
"My biggest concern right now is low member engagement," he told us."Despite what was a pretty loud election process, at least within Nominet circles, there was still only 15 per cent of members who voted. That was up from a typical 10 per cent but even so, it's way too low. "Nominet is a member organization, so 15 per cent engagement is a serious problem. It's also the case that those who actually are engaged increasingly sit at polar opposites, creating a partisan atmosphere.
"It feels like a microcosm of US and UK politics right now. So what I hope to do is find out what all those in the middle – the 85 per cent who didn't vote – want and then urge them to get more involved so Nominet can get to a healthier place."
