Australian domain administrator crisis deepens as members push to fire CEO and directors
The crisis at Australia’s domain administrator has grown as aggrieved members of the organisation push to fire the organisation’s CEO and three directors.
The move follows disquiet around auDA’s proposal to introduce new top level domain names which critics claim will increase the complexity and costs of running an online business in Australia.
Dissident auDA member Jim Stewart: “No business case for a major reform that is likely to have significant negative consequences”
Do you own a domain name, like yourname.com.au?
Have you been told by auDA that under their proposal, yourname.au will become available…. to owners of yourname.net.au, yourname.id.au, yourname.gov.au etc
You will not be given the first rights to nor have preferential treatment to register the .au version of your name but will probably go into a raffle with the others.
David, how do you know this? The policy panel won’t be publishing its report for review until June 2018. Do you work for auDA and know the result already?
David is simply repeating the information provided at the public forums.
