What rights are you asserting?
Our Rights to This Domain have been removed by Mr Michael Dawson as follows;
The domain name nemaritimetrust.co.uk has now been claimed and used by Mr Michael Dawson- (daw50nmdj@hotmail.co.uk) and has a high risk of being used in a way that is likely to endanger deversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in our part of the domain name system.
The domain name nemaritimetrust.co.uk was registered in May 2014 by Mr Michael Dawson. There were no Our Rights to have to be removed!
Mr Dawson originally registered the website for North East Maritime Trust, circa 2010, then transferred it to myself as its administrator in Oct 2020.
Mr Dawson did not transfer the website to Mr Renwick. He gave him administrative rights which were withdrawn when it was discovered that nearly all the posts from 2010 to 2019 no longer existed. NEMT paid all TSOcosts hosting costs involved since then. However, Mr Dawson took advantage of my limited ability to understand the danger of unlocked website access, then transfered the website from TSO Host to Ionos without seeking permission to do so.
The domain was transferred to IONOS because Mr Renwick had persuaded someone in TSOHost to replace Mr Dawson as the administrator of nemaritimetrust.co.uk with himself and as TSOHost could not be persuaded correct their error and that left Mr Dawson no alternative but to switch providers for which he did not need permission from anyone, and that includes Mr Renwick.
While nemaritimetrust.co.uk may have been paid for by NEMT, they were content to let Mr Dawson continue to administer it because his views did not conflict with the Trustees and anyway it had gone virtually dormant because from 2015, the NEMT had taken to using Social
Media for letting peple know what was going on.
However, after his own personal dispute regarding essential and necessary operational issues, Mr Dawson has removed access by myself as name ‘chockblock’ or anyone at this organisation North East Maritime Trust.Mr Renwick’s status was reduced from administrator to subsriber by Mr Dawson when it was became apparent that much of the history of two Trusts had disappeared after he had been given editorial rights.
Further, he refused to delete the website, tranfer as requested or modify its administration and has, in fact, made it his own website which we have no control over. Mr Dawson would like to point out that he had maintained the website from 2010, registered the domain name in 2014 and had no complaints from anyone in NEMT until Mr Renwick was voted in as its Chair after the death of Jerry Dudman in March 2020.
Other internet users (including but not limited to the distribution of viruses and malware, phishing activity, or facilitating distributed denial of service attacks) are obviously crucial in this regard. Nonsense, nemaritimetrust.co.uk was made secure when the site was moved from Daily to TSOHost.
Personal defamatory attacks include malicious and incorrect information, which seems to be the norm, especially in my case. Social engineering of this nature is having a direct effect on this charity’s future viability. Mr Dawson was not one of those making personal defamatory attacks and the malicious and incorrect information began to be posted on the site nemaritimetrust.co.uk soon after Mr Renwick took control of it in 2024. There was no way of countering it and so it became one of the main drivers when Mr Dawson took the decision to switch the provider to INIOS.
Originally hosted by Daily, then TSOHost, then later transferred to Ionos, this situation is extremely detrimental to our UK registered charities future, which we now have no control or editorial rights which have been removed by him. His editorial rights were reduced when it became apparent that pages and posts were being ‘lost’, however he regained them in 2024 by misleading an Agent of TSOHost and it was that which led Mr Dawson to transfer the hosting to IONOS to stop the abuse bt Mr Renwick.
I/We ask that the www.nemaritimetrust.co.uk domain is put on hold and/or Transfered to our new hosting company Kualo. Mr Renwick gained administrative rights to the website by misleading an agent of TSOHost when he claimed ownership of the nemaritimetrust.co.uk domain name. He never owned it, nor anyone else in NEMT and my first request of IONOS in April 24 was to move the expiry date from 22-May-24 and it is now 22-May-27.
Why is the domain name an Abusive Registration? It was never was an Abusive Registration. The domain nemaritimetrust.co.uk was properly registered in 2014 and its ownership, by Mr Dawson was properly extended for three years by its current host in April 2024.
Abusive Registration
After his own personal dispute regarding operational issues, Mr Dawson has removed access by myself or anyone at NEMT. He refused to delete the website or modify its administration and has, in fact, made it his own. When Mr Renwick was permitted access in 2020, he chose to delete the history of the two Trusts NEMT and NFHT from their formation until late in 2019. When Mr Dawson discovered what he was doing, full access for Mr Renwick was removed.
This is considered an Abusive Registration; It was never been an abusive registration – see request, above, to transfer nemaritimetrust.co.uk to the hosting company Kualo.
As a result of this, we have been forced to purchase and initiate a new nemaritimetrust.org.uk domain (currently under construction) via Kualo, all at great expense. Efforts to protect this domain are crucial and are currently in operation. Mr Renwick was not forced to purchase the domain/site nemaritimetrust.org.uk. He appears to have taken the decision in October 2022 to raise an .org.uk site in opposition to the .co.uk one and it appears it was raised to ensure that the history of the two trusts prior the launch of the Henry Frederick Swan in July 2018 remained hidden.
Other internet users (including but not limited to the distribution of viruses and malware, phishing activity, or facilitating distributed denial of service attacks) are obviously crucial in this regard. – see above, forced purchase of nemaritimetrust.org.uk.
Personal defamatory attacks include malicious and incorrect information, which seems to be the norm, especially in my case. Social engineering of this nature is having a direct effect on this charity’s future viability.
Personal attacks on my viability as Chairperson and incorrect potentially defamatory information are central to this complaint.
Our rights to this domain have been removed by Mr Michael Dawson.
Originally hosted by Daily, then TSO Host, then later transferred to Ionos, this situation is extremely detrimental to our UK registered charities future.
‘Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive’
I/We ask that the www.nemaritimetrust.co.uk domain is either put on hold and or transfered to Kualo as previously requested to Mr Dawson, who refuses to speak directly so that a way forward can be agreed.
