Roger Clarke has written "A Brief History of the Internet in Australia" -

- which refers to my 1998 paper on Australian DNS governance and some
of the associated controversies -

As far as I know no summaries exist on changes in the rules over the
years - perhaps auDA folk have now put this info together...?  My
impression was that they were tightened around 1995 and both Connect
(.net.au) and M-IT (.com.au) took on very similar guidelines.
