This isn't good news for the .uk domain space.

Nominet (who run the .uk ccTLD) allocate votes proportionally to registrars based on how many domains they have registered. [1]

GoDaddy will now likely control the majority of the votes.

The document you link specifically states protection mechanisms put in place to prevent this from happening.

They will still have a significant vote, but a long long way from a majority on any key issues.

I hope I am mistaken... It is far from clear as an outsider.

But the 10% or 3% limit respectively is per TAG (handle). HostEurope have multiple tags (HOSTEUROPE, 123-REG, WEBFUSION, WEBFUSION2, DOTUKDOMAINS, ... )
