As a starting point it appears as a specific recommendation of the Competition Panels Report See http://www.auda.org.au/docs/auda-competition-final.html#TOC2.3 It is then repeated in various documents including the Request for Tender http://www.auda.org.au/about/news/2001102201.html Further, see AusRegistry's media release of 12 December at http://www.ausregistry.com.au/news/news.html Regards, Chris Disspain CEO - auDA ceo§auda.org.au www.auda.org.au -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wright [mailto:newsstuff§network.au.com] Sent: Friday, 30 August 2002 11:44 To: dns§lists.auda.org.au Subject: RE: [DNS] WHOIS lookups Chris you say "This was made clear in various announcements and documents published by auDA at the time the tender was finalised" Where were these documents published and what were the heading titles??? In what way were they made public? It is extremely unusual that the very alert people in this list are not aware of related issues and documents that are generally circulated. Even the ones issued by auDA that are not included in this list usually get picked up in detail. Perhaps the auDA publicity machine needs a little oil as obviously the messages are not getting through to the intended receivers? I don't believe that the messages aren't getting through due to the ignorance or stupidity of the audiences - do you? In my professional experience and judgement; the responsibility of miscommunication falls squarely upon the sender not the receiver. Please take this as a light general but constructive criticism from me, of the way auDA communicates with "all stakeholders". ** - quote from the About auDA page on your website http://www.auda.org.au/about/ I believe that a survey of all Australians between 12 and 60 would reveal that only about 5-8% have even heard of auDA let alone understand it's role. These low figures are reflected back to me by other consultants who are trying to educate their client bases and from my own client-base. Even many IT consultants and managers still do not know of your existence - fortunately for your organisation, we attempt to educate them for you when we discover their lack of exposure to auDA. I believe that such mis-communication is gravely effecting the wide public realisation of accountability and understanding of the local .au rules, regulations, market climate and procedures.

Under the terms of the Registry Licence Agreement (to which auDA, AusRegistry and Registrars Asia are all parties) Registrars Asia agree not to conduct registrar business in .au. However, there is nothing to prevent them from continuing to act as a registrar in other ccTLD spaces or the gTLD spaces. This was made clear in various announcements and documents published by auDA at the time the tender was finalised. Pursuant to this agreement, at the commencement of the new regime, Registrars Asia ceased to act as a registrar in .au and the registrant clients they held as a Melbourne IT reseller reverted back to MIT. Hopefully this provides an explanation for those who have neither the wit nor the ethics to check publicly available information prior to making derogatory comments.

How can we be sure that there is no data sharing by these two entities when they do not have either the wit, ethical sensitivity or apparently the resources to arrange separate fax facilities?
