In
our last
post we told you
about Australian
entrepreneurs being up in arms
over a proposal that country's
domain governing body, auDA,
(administrator of the .AU ccTLD),
was considering that could have
effectively banned domain
investing in that country's TLD. From
the moment the idea was broached a
crescendo of protests began growing
with everyone from a former auDA
board member (Simon Johnson)
to the Internet
Commerce Association (ICA)
lodging strong objections to what
would have been an unprecedented
development in the domain industry.
The
united stand taken by the domain
business community apparently caught
the attention of auDA leadership
because today they announced they
have rejected
the proposed policy changes for
the Australian namespace. The auDA
decision said “there is no
evidence that domain name flipping
as an investment strategy is having
a negative impact on the utility of
the .au domain nor resulting in a
scarcity of domain names."
