Quoting ginger FISH on Sunday July 07, 2002:
| Which is not the case of Peter Dean for example, who cybersquatts on domain
| names such as aunic.net.au aunic.com.au, auregistry.com.au etc, etc, that
| does not promote at all .com.au , that changes official domain names logos
| at his convenience, that charges an enormous price for domain names, that
| obtains a registrar licence "god knows how" , that sits on the board of
| directors of auDA, that misleads people on his site making them believe
| A1Registrar is auDA , ..etc etc etc ...

Well, Peter Dean was elected by the supply class members. I can not
speak for why they chose him.

| For all that, I would have thought his fellow directors would have said
| something to him so he would change his attitude and his misleading
| marketing techniques while representing the highest authority for domain
| names in Australia, but so far, nothing ... There is absolutely nothing but
| nonsense and misleading material on his "personal homepage" ..

I know I have spoken to him about it, and he steadfastly believes he is
doing the right thing and that it is 100% legal and there is nothing
auDA can do about it.

| What do you make of that, Kim, can we have some sort of clarification ?

I think using confusingly similar domains etc is unethical. I have
told him this. I don't know if it is illegal. I am no expert on these
matters. I don't think the remedy Instra gave when auDA first took them
to task over www.aunic.net.au is good enough (that is, the link and the
top sentence of the web page.)
