[ I've recorded many times my serious objections to the commercialisation of the national resource, the .au domain.
[ But it seems that auDA hasn't even got the competence to implement an effective commercialisation process. ] ISP says: > Due to issues with the .au direct launch, any new .au direct domain names you register will not resolve (be accessible) immediately. For more information, please visit our status page. https://status.ventraip.com.au/event/1575 Due to issues launching the new .au direct domain names, newly registered domain names will not resolve to your chosen site until the DNS for the domain is manually added to the registry by Afilias. Once you have registered your .au direct domain, you will be able to edit your Nameserver records through VIPControl; however, the DNS will not be synced to the registry until Afilias adds them manually. Once the DNS zone is manually added, your website will be able to resolve as normal. Afilias will perform these actions once a day, Tuesday to Friday each week, which means you could have to wait a few days until your DNS records become active on the domain name. The issue will also include changing Nameserver records for .au direct domains from one Nameserver to another. We are pressuring auDA and Afilias to perform these manual actions daily to reduce the delay for our customers. We currently do not know when DNS will update automatically for .au direct domain names, although we have been informed that it could be at least a week before the fix is implemented. This issue will not affect existing .au domain names such as .com.au and .net.au; these will continue to work as expected. We very much apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. Unfortunately, these issues are outside of our control and will be affecting everyone who acquires a .au direct domain. -- Roger Clarke mailto:[email protected] T: +61 2 6288 6916 http://www.xamax.com.au http://www.rogerclarke.com Xamax Consultancy Pty Ltd 78 Sidaway St, Chapman ACT 2611 AUSTRALIA Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Law University of N.S.W.
