auDA's Chief Policy Officer is not a subscriber to this list.

If people have concerns about things like this, it would be
better and more effective to email her directly.  There is
not much sense in talking about it in a place like this where
she is not listening.

In general, if you want to ask auDA a question, you should
address your question to auDA, not send it to the DNS list.
This is a public forum where a number of key auDA people are
not present, so this list will often not give (good) answers.

] I raised this issue of an apparent change of .asn.au eligibility
] policy with Chris Disspain and Jo Lim (AusRegistry present) at the
] auDA public Seminar in Canberra recently.
] 
] I did so on the basis that the Small Business Coalition
] <www.setel.com.au/sbcmembers/index.htm> is a coalition of registered
] small business associations, but it is not an incorporated association
] and therefore would not be eligible to apply for a .asn.au domain
] name.  So associations that formed "partnership" arrangements would
] not be eligible for a .asn.au domain name on my interpretation of the
] proposed eligibility policy.
] 
] Chris said he would address this issue and his response to me was
] positive.  Hopefully, your concern will also be addressed.
] 
] Someone - not the auDA Board that I can see from published Board
] decisions - appears to have rewritten the eligibility policy at the
] implementation stage.
] 
] IMO, the current policy should stand, unless there are compelling
] reasons for changing the policy and they are published.
