Proposal 1: (Steve Baxter)
> 
> [please feel free to constructively modify these - the following just seem
> to make some sense for an Australian DNS discussion list]
> 
> o  a new mailling list be formed to talk about Australian DNS issues. This
>    list would have strict rules for discussion including :
> 
>    o  all DNS issues in Australia under .au
>    o  ways to improve the stability of the DNS system
>    o  suggested policy guidelines for .au and below DNS
>    o  global policy that ONLY has direct bearing/influence on .au
>    o  ways to promote competition under .au and other sub domains
> 
>    the list charter would not include discussion on :
> 
>    o  rogue, alternate DNS systems
>    o  anything outside .au that did not have direct implications for .au
>       and below.
> 
> OR
> 
> o  the present mailling list (dns§iia.net.au) adopt a charter similar to
>    this.
> 
> 
> 
> If the IIA are not willing to take a leadership role in this area then I
> am sure that other responsible Internet bodies would like the chance. If
> the DNS is to remain relevant it needs to focus on the realities of .au
> DNS and the issues faced their - not in some farcical .wally-world !
