Are you then suggesting that Pty Ltd companies (who have exclusive
commercial right over the exact name of their legal entity throughout
Australia) would then take up the .com.au positions with exactly the full
name of the legal entity??

I'd like to see that!!!!!!!!!!

Having been watching very quietly for some time, and now that the new
regime is in place, and many people know my feelings about it, I thought
I'd add something that auDA should seriously consider to avoid FUTURE
disputes.

The policy requires "registration of a business name or company"  correct?

So why not then register domain names the same way.

nsw.au
vic.au
qld.au
etc

Then each BUSINESS name can apply for registration of it's appropriate
state.au name space which you are GUARANTEED will not be disputed, simply
because the Business Names Act only provides for use and trade of a name IN
the state of registration.

That means JOE BLOW registered in Victoria can have joeblow.vic.au and not
conflict or give rise to a dispute with JOE BLOW in NSW who also trades as
"JOE BLOW" as he can register as joeblow.nsw.au

Companies - that is those incorporated under Federal law - Corporations Law
- who have trade rights throughout the Commonwealth of Australia can
register in com.au which I guess means more "commonwealth.au" more than
commercial, right?
