Hi Jess,

I believe your last email deserves an answer:

- The domains you've mentioned are registered to AUSTRALIAN STYLE IP  
PTY LTD, which does have a common director and premises to that of  
our Registrar companies.
- The domains were registered through the same service available to  
all of our customers.  No special treatment.
- The domains were not registered for the purpose of speculation or  
monetisation, and the Registrant is eligible to licence them.
- The domains are however, temporarily delegated to a park page  
service offered by one of our Registrars.  This is not indicative of  
their purpose.

Thanks.

Nick
