>A3: that Rule 7, that excludes any word 'that is not an unqualified >Australian place name such as "Melbourne"', be made more precise, by >only excluding those Australian place names appearing in the list of >Australian Post Codes listed in the back of the White Pages directories. >(That is the way that the COM.AU DNA is currently interpreting this rule >anyway.) For interest, I would note that I think the example of "Melbourne" (as in melbourne.com.au) is a fairly badly chosen one, because if you care to take a look at the DNS, you'll see that one organization has got delegation of melbourne.com.au, sydney.com.au,adelaide.com.au, brisbane.com.au (and some others I think), already... so using that an example of what you won't permit seems a little silly to me for that reason :) Meanwhile, I secon Geoff's question: why is there, intrinsically, any actual problem with letting people register common names in com.au?
