PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

Please email kre§munnari.oz.au (cc all lists) to support
the email application below for the revocation of
auda.org.au 

Why? Because the au Domain Administration
(Australian Company Number 079 009 340)
should properly be addressed only at
auda.com.au or possibly at auda.asn.com.au
or even auda.gov.au but certainly not at
org.au under current criteria.

Your support is particularly urgent since the CEO of auDA stated on 14 June
2001 at about 12.40pm that, in relation to Mr Robert Elz, IANA .au delegate:

> auDA has now applied to ICANN to re-delegate the .au domain
> to us (full details are available at http://www.auda.org.au/redelegation/ ).
> We would like to have done this with Robert's consent but, unfortunately, he
> has not responded to our requests.
