→Second and Third Level Domains
In October, 2012, Nominet opened a 3 month comment period to gauge public interest in opening registration at the [[Second Level Domain|second-level]], thereby making ''example.uk'' a registrable address. Some of the proposed differences include: a higher price, £20 instead of £2.50; verification of actual UK-residence and contact information; the possibility of mandatory [[DNSSEC]]; and possible, limited [[registrar]] accreditation or selection.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10642-goodbye-to-co-nominet-ponders-releasing-second-level-uk-domains Goodby to Co Nominet Ponders releasing Second Level UK Domains, DomainIncite.com]</ref> [[ICANN]] regular, and CEO of Irish [[registrar]] [[Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd]], [[Michele Neylon]] immediately logged a number of complaints with the proposals, which he sees as being "heavily influenced" by the law enforcement requests being made during ongoing discussions at ICANN over the [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]].<ref>[http://www.internetnews.me/2012/10/01/nominet-sucking-up-to-law-enforcement-with-new-proposals/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign= Nominet Sucking up To Law Enforcement with New Proposals, InternetNews.me]</ref> Many of his complaints can be seen [http://www.internetnews.me/2012/10/01/nominet-sucking-up-to-law-enforcement-with-new-proposals/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign= here].

In February 2013, Nominet returned to say that it was not taking any immediate action on opening up to second-level registration, but that the idea was not abandoned wholesale. They are planning to respond to the feedback and revising their proposal to meet concerns. It will be researching how to give current registrants priority when delegating second-level .uk names, and how to improve the security of the entire namespace rather than just update anything at the second-level.<ref>[http://www.nominet.org.uk/news/latest/update-directuk Update DirectUk, Nominet.org.uk] Published & Retrieved 27 Feb 2013</ref>
