I will not tolerate sidestepping of these issues much longer. Demanding things from auDA will get you no-where... I also hold high doubt's that they respond to threats! All the answers are on the 'large' auDA website, everything that auDA is documented there! If you dont see the information, it is likely that the information you are looking for does not exist! This is a bizi time for the .au domain system. Nothing much will happen though without auDA members being notified. - well i hope so anyway.. ;) Also, being a channel partner of Melbourne IT in no way obliges auDA to respond. Another reason why your *threat* might go unanswered.... Are you a member of auDA ?
