Yep - I missed that one. You're right - that paragraph effectively promotes registrars as the retailer, and as such it excludes resellers. auDA SHOULD have stated something along the lines of "You may renew it through your usual reseller of domain name provider, who may decide to place the renewal with a new registrar of record. Alternatively you may instruct your reseller to use a particular registrar, or you may elect to deal directly with your own preferred registrar."

If you would not like Melbourne IT to send this communication to the com.au registrants on your reseller account, simply reply to this e- mail adding the word OPTOUT to end of the subject line, by COB today. If you choose the opt out option, we request that you convey this information to your customers as soon as practicable. >>>>>>>>>>> But with auDA, It seems I do not and you around telling every admin contract of any domain under our management with emails like this: >>>auDA's new Australian domain name regime and com.au names .au Domain Administration Ltd (auDA) is the government-endorsed manager of Australian domain names (see http://www.auda.org.au). >>>>>> What makes you different from ING, you seems to have went directly to our clients anyway. this question needs to be answered!!! :-( regards, Marco Botros Operations Manager Spirit Servers mehanna§spiritservers.com.au http://spiritservers.com.au ******************************************************* Spirit Servers, "A Solid, Reliable .dotHosting". ----- Original Message ----- From: auDA Info <info§auda.org.au> To: <domain§spiritservers.com.au> Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 3:29 AM Subject: hostpro.com.au auDA's new Australian domain name regime and com.au names .au Domain Administration Ltd (auDA) is the government-endorsed manager of Australian domain names (see http://www.auda.org.au). You are being sent this email because you are listed in the com.au database as the administrative contact for the above com.au name. This email contains important information about the above domain name. If you are no longer the administrative contact and you know who has replaced you, please urgently forward this email to them. If you do not know who has replaced you forward this email to noadmin§auda.org.au Today, auDA introduced a new domain name regime and new domain name policy rules. This will affect your domain name in the following ways. Under the new system, each domain name has a Registrar of Record entered in the database. Your Registrar of Record is Melbourne IT Ltd. This is because when you licensed or last renewed the domain name, you did so directly through Melbourne IT Ltd or through one of their domain name resellers. When your domain name licence expires you can renew it through your Registrar of Record or you may decide to transfer to another auDA Accredited Registrar, in which case they will become your new Registrar of Record. The cost of renewal may vary from registrar to registrar. It is important to check the service offerings and charges of each registrar before making your choice. A list of registrars and links to their websites is available at http://www.auda.org.au/registrars If you have any queries about your domain name you should contact Melbourne IT Ltd or the reseller you normally deal with.
