You have completely ignored the fact that there is a clear demand for opening up .au, and as such it is incumbent on the policy panel to address that demand.
The mechanics are a separate issue. .au is a market not a democracy. There is no implicit right or mandate for the policy panel to consider any arguments for thwarting that demand. On the contrary there is an implied mandate for auda to address demand for direct .au registrations as the namespace is there for the benefit of all australians. There was no consultation on opening up state based 2lds, and no democratic process or veto was even contemplated. This is a clear precedent the policy panels must observe.
