Dear stakeholders,

At the beginning of October Nominet launched a consultation on the potential introduction of a new service known as direct.uk.

Many thanks to all those who have already responded with their feedback on the proposals. If you have not yet had the chance to review the consultation, we would welcome your views in advance of 7th January 2013.

We have so far received a large and diverse range of comments and opinions, and the recent stakeholder roundtable meetings in London and Cardiff allowed us to hear many of these in person. There are still a number of regional stakeholder roundtable meetings outside of London. If you would like to register please visit here.

There are a number of ways in which to respond to the consultation either by completing an online form, by downloading the consultation and emailing your comments to direct@nominet.org.uk. You can also request a hard copy of the consultation from the above email address.

If you require any further information please email the .uk Policy Secretariat.

The closing date for the submission of responses is Monday 7th January 2013.

We look forward to receiving your response.
