What's the bet that Larry or Vic go out and register .co.au before anyone else even knows .au has been opened up and start flogging off subdomains for 30 to 90 bucks each.
I think the federal communications minister or an appointed representative should be present at all AuDA meetings to actually keep some sanity, because as an industry we aren't self governing it, we are raping it. -Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vic Cinc Sent: Tuesday, 19 June 2007 2:02 PM To: .au DNS Discussion List Subject: Re: [DNS] Australia registers more .au than .com domains the way the policy panel posed the question to the public stacked the outcome. spooking people into thinking that the value in .com.au would be trashed by opening up .au as is evident from some of the replies. stating the proposition as one of preserving the value in .com.au while opening up .au would have been the right way to pose the question. there is a clear demand for registering in .au and auda and its policy panel have a clear obligation to find a way to address that demand.
