iiNet Technologies is pleased with the changes in the COM.AU renewal policy by Melbourne IT, as faxed to Pauline Van Winsen of the Internet Society of Australia. In these changes, Melbourne IT will not remove unpaid domains until November 1997 that do not require service. This resolution achieves the goal we aimed for - ensuring that there is competition in the management of the COM.AU zone before companies are removed. A group of Internet industry heads has formed a working party to create the Australian Domain Name Authority (ADNA), which will oversee the introduction of competing domain name administrators for COM.AU. A public meeting on this will be held in Sydney next week. As a result, we are taking steps to suspend recently announced legal action against Melbourne IT, Robert Elz and Telstra Corporation. Thanks for all the support we've received from thousands of COM.AU holders across Australia, and to Melbourne IT for altering their policy to one which is workable for the Internet community. kim for iinet technologies % kim davies <kim§west.net.au> tel: (09) 322 7770 fax: (09) 322 6660 Connect West Pty Ltd, Level 9, 250 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 url = http://www.cynosure.com.au/~kim/Received on Mon Mar 24 1997 - 15:00:29 UTC
