Consultations

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 host a consultations process, to 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.

Policy Consultation

Following last year’s policy consultation and ahead of the transition of .UK to our new Dragon Registry Services Platform in 2026, we are now consulting on the complete set of agreements and policies to ensure they are coherent and compatible with each other for the operation of the .UK registry.

The consultation closes on 12^th November 2025. Please visit Registrar Resources for further information.

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).
