Consumer Alert

 

Issued by auDA - 28 November 2002

 

Regarding

 

Emails from Open Your Mind Pty Ltd

 

 

auDA has become aware that a company called Open Your Mind Pty Ltd (Open
Your Mind) has sent an email to some domain name registrants regarding
the administration of Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd trading as
Internet Name Group (subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement) (ING).

 

The email is headed "Consumer Advice - Internet Name Group in
Administration". It purports to advise former clients of ING on their
options for renewal and management of their domain name, and offers the
services of Open Your Mind in respect to renewal and management.

 

However, the email does not disclose that there is a connection between
ING and Open Your Mind.

 

auDA believes that registrants should be aware that Open Your Mind is a
company controlled by Mr Sasha Sudakov, who was a Director of ING prior
to and at the time that ING was placed in administration.

 

ING has been the subject of previous media releases by auDA which can be
