UK body for Internet registration. A new national body in the UK responsible for registering Internet names has held its first meeting. Nominet UK is a not‐for‐profit company set up with the support of all sections of the UK Internet industry and which derives its authority from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Until its creation Internet name registration was done on a voluntary basis by the UK Education & Research Networking Association but the Internet's increasing popularity, with 200 new registrations per week, put a strain on this arrangement.
