We value the insight that the wider .UK ecosystem has on our namespace, so we ensure that stakeholders’ voices are heard when we develop .UK policy.
Before making significant changes to how .UK operates, we consult with our members, registrars and other key stakeholders to understand the impact of proposals. We use the feedback gathered to inform decisions on the future of .UK.

.UK Modernisation, Standardisation and Legacy Service Retirement
The .UK modernisation, standardisation and legacy service retirement consultation consulted on proposed changes to the technical systems and processes that registrars and registrants use to register and manage .UK domains.
The consultation closed in April 2024 with responses from registrars representing a diverse range of business models. We received 112 consultation responses, which represents 69% of .UK domains under management (DUM).
