As most of you already know, iiNet has been seeking
an injunction stopping Melbourne IT from deleting
unpaid COM.AU domain names from the DNS.

The case went before the Federal Court in Perth this
afternoon for a preliminary hearing.

As a result of this action, Melbourne IT has requested
further time to prepare, and extended the expiry date
for COM.AU renewals until 17/04/97.

I will post more, along with a URL to the relevant
court notices and documents, within the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the message is: if your domain name is
being threatened with deregistration, you don't need
to pay yet. Hold onto your money for another few hours
until we've had a chance to put the documents somewhere
that you can read them.
