Telstra's legal counsel has advised me to make no public statements
on the aspect of the DNS .au administration nor to participate in
any public meetings on the subject until the current class action, 
in which Telstra is a named party, are resolved.

Accordingly I will not attend the meeting at the 4th April, nor will I
make any changes or make any forward commitment regarding the AUNIC
registry or the domains which I administer relative to the agenda for
this week's meeting. It would be improper for myself to do so under
these circumstances, nor do I wish to compromise in any way the 
position of my employer in this matter with repect to these legal
proceedings.
