Clash looms over org.au
Australians are likely to witness an unprecedented battle over domain

names body ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers, is about to make the final technical switch to auDA after
deciding in auDA's favor. But Elz says auDA does not have the right
to take org.au and id.au from him.
