James raises some fundamental issues of principle, which I (and others of far
greater standing in this community) have raised on a number of occasions since
2002.

They go to the heart of accountability, transparency and governance by auDA.

The issue of competitive tendering, accountability and transparency in relation
to service provision to auDA were raised and responded to at the 2001 auDA AGM.

The AGM minutes record <www.auda.org.au/about/minutes/agm-2001.html>:  In
relation to the process followed by auDA to award contracts, members were
advised that all contracts worth $20,000 or more will be subject to multiple
quotes or tender.
