All on DNS List cc Megan Waine Today's Sydney Morning Herald's Business section reported: " . . . BHP's shareholders voted to proceed with the spin-off of BHP's steel distribution and long products manufacturing business into a separate entity, OneSteel." A check of onesteel.com shows: Domain Name.......... onesteel.com Registration Date.... 2000-04-06 Expiry Date.......... 2002-04-06 Organisation Name.... The Campaign Palace. Organisation Address. Level 6, 150 William St Organisation Address. Woolloomooloo Organisation Address. 2011 Organisation Address. NSW Organisation Address. AUSTRALIA Admin Name........... Megan Waine Looking at onesteel.com.au gives: Organization-Name: Onesteel Pty Limited Organization-ACN: 000000000 Organization-Postal: Level 6, 150 William Street Woolloomooloo NSW 2011 Organization-Country-Code: AU Domain-Name: onesteel.com.au Admin-Contact: (MW111-AU) Tech-Contact: (MW111-AU) Handle: ONESTEEL-COM-AU-DOM Created: 1-May-2000 Updated: 1-May-2000 The NIC Handle MW111-AU also refers to Megan Waine as IT Manager for Campaign Palace. Note the Registrant for the first is The Campaign Palace and the second Onesteel Pty Ltd. The registration dates are 6 April and 1 May 2000, respectively. No ACN is shown but One Steel Pty Limited lodged a 205A Notification of Resolution Changing Company Name on 22 June 2000. It applied for a Change of Company Status from Pty to Public a few days later on 26 June 2000. So now OneSteel Limited. In between, on 27 April 2000, a DEBORAH RYDER in Harrisburg, PA registered onesteel.net. A little later, on 5 June 2000, a SYED HUSSAIN in Closter, NJ registered the remaining onesteel.org. Neither appear to be related to BHP or OneSteel Limited. At the time of writing, the domain name, onesteel.net.au has not been registered. I don't know when the shareholders met but I find it most surprising that a billion dollar corporation like BHP: (a) nearly lost onesteel.com.au (b) did lose onesteel.net and onesteel.org (c) hasn't cleaned up onesteel.net.au. Perhaps some of these big corporations need to get their act together. I also wonder how INWW allowed the .com.au registration without an ACN as required.
