Ian,
It is in fact a Director of auDA who is using www.aunic.com.au and www.aunic.net.au for his own commercial websites.

Internet Name Group have a commercial website sitting on www.asic.com.au

Both are misrepresenting themselves to Australian consumers. Both are making

a mokery of any proposed code of conduct. One sits on the Code of Conduct

committee. Both are Provisionally Accredited Registrars.

What hope can there possibly be for .au administration. ??

for a trademark for the aunic name which could then be used to obtain the
aunic.com.au domain name.

Is this possible?
