Morning Everyone, We do what we can. auDA blocked ING's access to WHOIS about 2 weeks ago. At present auDA has no other control over ING who are licensed to be re-sellers by Melbourne IT. Maybe Domainz action will persuade MIT to do something.

For those interested we announced the following today: (Bad enough you guys beat us at rugby but you also give us your spamsters :-) Internet Domain Name Protection Pty Ltd Domainz has received a large number of complaints from people and organisations to whom Internet Domain Name Protection Pty Ltd have sent correspondence with reference to existing .nz domain names. In the view of Domainz, their action in sending out large numbers of letters to Name Holders is contrary to their obligations under the Domainz .nz Provider Agreement - in particular Clause 4.1, where they have agreed not to act in a way that will be detrimental to the integrity or the performance of the register or the Internet generally, and to act in good faith towards Name Holders and others. This view is supported by the level and nature of the complaints which we have received. Some complainants have asked whether letters from Internet Domain Name Protection Pty Ltd correctly represent the position in relation to the new domains, or may be misleading Name Holders. Others believe that they have used information in the register for a purpose which was not intended. Regardless of how they obtained the information, Domainz has no wish to be involved with accredited .nz service providers who engage in such practices. Domainz has exercised it's right under clause 10 of the agreement and has suspended the right of access to Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd as we have not received an explanation of how they are going to remedy these breaches of their agreement and how they will mitigate the damage which they have caused to the reputation of Domainz and its accredited service providers in New Zealand.
