What's the bet that Larry or Vic go out and register .co.au before
anyone else even knows .au has been opened up and start flogging off
subdomains for 30 to 90 bucks each.

I think the federal communications minister or an appointed
representative should be present at all AuDA meetings to actually keep
some sanity, because as an industry we aren't self governing it, we are
raping it.

the way the policy panel posed the question to the public stacked the
outcome. spooking people into thinking that the value in .com.au would
be trashed by opening up .au as is evident from some of the replies.

stating the proposition as one of preserving the value in .com.au while
opening up .au would have been the right way to pose the question.

there is a clear demand for registering in .au and auda and its policy
panel have a clear obligation to find a way to address that demand.
