...and it all ends up in the Federal Court.

Wouldn't it have simply been easier for auDA to protect .com.au registrant
data in the first place ?

Had the contact information not been easily available this situation would
never have arisen. But it has, and unfortunately many Australian consumers
have paid the price.

Will auDA be taking any steps to secure the personal contact details of
Australian consumers in future?

auDA - ACCC action against Internet Name Group

 

 

Melbourne, 19 April 2002: auDA notes with interest the action launched
by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) against
Internet Name Group alleging misleading and deceptive conduct under the
Trade Practices Act.

(see http://203.6.251.7/accc.internet/digest/view_media.cfm?RecordID=655
)

 

Internet Name Group is a Melbourne IT licensed reseller of domain names,
and has been provisionally accredited by auDA to operate under the new
regime when it begins this year.

 

auDA is obtaining copies of the documents filed with the Federal Court
by the ACCC so that it may decide what action should be taken with
respect to Internet Name Group's provisional accreditation.

 

auDA will announce its decision early next week. 

 

-ENDS-
