Over the last year the Policy Advisory Body (PAB) has been reviewing its role and function and made recommendations on how the policy development process could evolve to deliver improved policy advice to the Board. Nominet consulted on these proposals during March and April 2010 and received overwhelming support for the proposed process. The PAB ceased to operate following its meeting in May 2010.

Following the consultation the new .uk policy development process has been launched.  The new process has an open approach to developing policy for.uk, that focuses on specific issues. Each issue will be dealt with in specially convened Issue Groups that ensure the right stakeholders are involved in the development of policy that is relevant to them.

Full details about the new process and how you can get involved are available here: http://www.nominet.org.uk/policy/
