'''[[Nominet]]''', the registry for the [[.uk]] [[ccTLD]], is in the news for its proposal to open up registrations for the English [[ccTLD]] at the [[Second Level Domain|second level]]; only third level registration is currently available. For example, the proposed change would allow ''domain.uk'' to be registered rather than ''domain.co.uk'' or ''domain.org.uk''. The proposed registration policy changes have already been responded to by [[Michele Neylon]], CEO of Irish [[registrar]] [[Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd]], as seeming to be "heavily influenced" by suggestions from law enforcement within the context of ongoing discussions in [[ICANN]] over the [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]].

Nominet is also the selected registry provider for the proposed [[.wales]] and [[.cymru]] [[GeoTLD]]s, and it was recently noted that the websites for the proposed new strings seem to feature poor Welsh grammar, and are possibly a product of Google translate or a similar service. Nonetheless, the company has previously promised to eventually expand beyond its English-centric operations to include an office in Wales with Welsh speaking staff.
