At 11:00am on Thursday 3 October 2002, 1342 unallocated generic domain
names will become available for registration.

I have developed a web site which will provide LIVE UPDATES starting at
10:00am and at 5 minute intervals afterwards:

http://www.whatsinaname.com.au/generic/


The service uses AusRegistry's unrestricted whois based domain
availability check:
http://www.ausregistry.com.au/domains/domavailable.html

Currently all of the 1342 domains appear as "Not Available" (reserved by
auDA)

At 11:00am the 1342 domains should appear as "Available", and as the
generic names are registered they will move to "Not Available".

Clicking on a registered name's hyperlink in the "Not Available" section
will take you to the WHOIS record for that particular name.
