&#167;Just checking if you're reading the mudpit :-)

&#167;Actually, on my assertion that you are the sole authority for the .au
&#167;namespace, and that without your support, no body has any juristiction over
&#167;.AU.
&#167;
&#167;And that your delegated authority for .au is equivalen to Ozemails for
&#167;.aust.com.
&#167;

According to many people, the IANA was supposed to delegate
the 2-letter TLDs to governments. .AU is supposedly delegated
to the Australian government, or should be. When the new IANA Inc.
is formed, one of the agenda items should be a review of all of
the 2-letter delegations. Since the Australian government is
playing such a large role in shaping the next round of the
White Paper, I would assume that the .AU delegation will be
high on the list. This will likely be the case because all of these
discussions have raised the awareness around the world. In
the past, some government leaders were clueless about the
TLDs. Now they have been educated. It will be interesting to
see how they respond to the new IANA Inc.
