My suggestion will protect each DA, to a certain extent, from accusations of favouritism (but then, not against accusations of collusion).

Simply that there needs to be some impartial body who can make the decision (if necessary) to deregister a DA or register another DA after 18 months. It doesn't have to be Robert, however that's how it was done with com.au, hence my comment. > Both organisations have secondary products other than Internet > access, and of course, our centres of operations are in > different states.

There wasn't anything in the proposal (if I recall correctly) of substituting another organisation for a belly-up DA (although it was suggested later). The proposal indicated that the remaining organisation would take the balance of the load. I wondered what would happen if the other subsequently died. It makes more sense that if one dies, a different organisation may be delegated into the spot - which leads back to paragraph 1 above. > What exactly will happen, right now, if Melbourne IT goes > to the wall?
