Just curious: is this something Nominet delegated to them?

Probably explains why they're managing .ac.uk. They were well organised long before Nominet came on the scene (my university was handing out .ac.uk email addresses back in 1990-91 which is 6 years before Nominet came into existence).

Nominet came after alot of these - so would imagine this has been delegated down from parliament or the like?!

Or, its a land grab that will 'just happen' !

Much like Internet.co.uk if I remember right ?
