It would appear that auDA has approached the IANA for a re-delegation 
without having received "the nod" from the current trustee. I repeat my 
earlier question, has this action been approved by the Board ? If so at 
which meeting ? Why is Mr Elz apparently reticent to lend his support. I 
suspect (in the absence of any documents) that he may not be convinced that 
the au Internet community fully supports the activities of auDA. I think a 
broader membership would help and lowering the membership to less that $100 
would go along way to accomplishing this. The work of auDA has been 
substantive, but concerns linger. The apparent lack 
of  discussion/debate/documentation regarding this last action only 
highlights the concerns of the suspicious who long to be fully converted to 
the cause...
