Hi James, I am on the auDA board, however, I write this explanation in my personal capacity:
* In 2015, an advisory panel (“2015 Names Policy Panel”) recommended to the auDA board that direct registration (eg. “yourname.au”) should be adopted. Disclosure: I was actually on that panel (and not on the auDA board) at that time. Relevant report can be viewed here<https://www.auda.org.au/index.php/assets/pdf/2015npp-final-report.pdf>. * The auDA board subsequently accepted the panel’s recommendation in principal, but recognised that implementation needed to be fleshed out before a final decision could be made. * A panel (“2017 Policy Review Panel”) was established last year – their work is ongoing – that has the implementation model as one of their terms of reference. * Once the PRP has advised their recommended implementation model, the auDA board will make a final decision on whether or not to implement direct registration. * The board has publically stated that this decision will not be made until late 2019. If you are interested in the potential implementation models (including, what happens to owners of existing .com.au/.net.au/etc) then you can read the Interim Report here: https://www.auda.org.au/index.php/policies/panels-and-committees/2017-policy-review-panel/ If you want to be kept up to date on these matters, one option is to pay the $22/year to be a member of auDA: https://auda.org.au/about-auda/membership/ I am happy to answer any further enquiries off list (eg. about direct registration or the upcoming registry transition).

I saw chatter about it a while ago.
