WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR ANY PROPOSED CODE OF CONDUCT ??
It is unclear when it will be introduced
It is unclear if it will be enforceable
It is unclear as to whether or not it will be enforceable, how and by whom?

auDA is well aware of the business practices of these companies and yet here
they sit on the Code of Conduct Commitee:

NETREGISTRY  proved they could not be trusted with the auNIC database and
yet the same company have a representative on the Code of Conduct Commitee?

Peter Dean, Istra Pty Ltd, www.aunic.com.au, Director of auDA, conflict of
interest, and to top it off, sits on the Code of Conduct Commitee ?

And, Rod "Scam claim over com.au reselling" Keys.

LEGISLATION IS CLEARLY WHAT'S REQUIRED TO STAMP OUT THIS MESS AND SAVE THE
INDUSTRY FROM FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS, STAY TUNED FOR DAILY UPDATES.
