I have made 2 seperate complaints to auDA regarding 2 different registrars.
On both occasions the Registrars were found to be at fault and were "spoken
to".

It seems to me that even though registrars break the rules and are found
guilty no action is taken against them. Apparently none of them act "in bad
faith".

Perhaps complaints should be investigated by an independant body as opposed
to a sole Judge and Jury.

I wanted to know if the Board is made aware of complaints, and their
outcomes, made through the Complaints Policy. Also what course of action can
be taken to appeal a decision and is the board held responsible for
decisions made by auDA staff?


Thanks
