Perhaps you could bring this up at the next board
meeting. It would be beneficial to all to have some
sort of pre-auDRP complaints policy in place for
situations like this. As there will no longer be
requirements to give "reasons" for "close &
substantial" I can see no reason why auDa cannot
follow up where a complaint about misrepresentation
has been made. A simple letter asking the registrant
to qualify their C&S application would not be
difficult to apply. Benefits would come for both the
australian community and registrars.
