Justin,

Our form actually says this as well.  I think it's more so a
technicality than anything else.  As the policies state net.au/com.au
domain names cannot be transferred, they need to be cancelled and
applied for again.  Hence using this method works around it.

The person who signs the Termination form must be someone from the
original company anyway, so to them, the domain name will be
terminated.  Even though the new company may well own the other business
name, you have to think of it in terms of 2 individual entities.

Although your comments on modifying the Termination form are valid, I
will discuss this further internally and arrange for our net.au
Termination form to be duly modified.


Regards,
