Sedo business development director Nora Nanayakkara has been selected to stand for election to Nominet's Policy Advisory Body (PAB). Having worked alongside a huge range of stakeholders in the .uk domain name industry, Nora is well placed to advise on future policy issues in the industry.

Nora's unique background of direct contact with thousands of .uk end-users (domain traders, parkers, registrars, venture capitalists, content developers, ad providers, SEO agencies, marketing/branding groups and small businesses) would enable her to capture a broad range of Nominet members' needs and requirements.

Nominet is undergoing a period of policy and structural change at a time of exciting growth and dynamism for the .uk domain name industry and Nora believes the needs of stakeholders in both the primary and secondary markets can be aligned to ensure continued development.

As a PAB member, her goals would include:

• Greater member participation
• Promotion of .uk usage
• Education of users and members
• A higher-profile Nominet
• Changes to DRS procedure, for greater diversity on the DRS expert panel and for the rejection of poor quality, invalid/incomplete complaints
• Development of the domain industry and education about opportunities presented by both the primary and secondary domain name markets

If you are a Nominet member, we would urge you to cast your vote today and would be very grateful for your support in considering Nora Nanayakkara for a seat on the policy advisory board so the needs and feedback of the .uk domain name community can be effectively communicated to Nominet and help shape the development of future .uk policies.
