Quoting Glenn Powell on Thursday December 13, 2001:
| If I understand this correctly:
| We have AusRegistry P/L operating the registry, ie backend
| infrastructure / Aunic etc etc.
| Large domain name resellers can apply to AusRegistry to become
| registrar's such as Melb IT, Tucows etc. These guys interface directly
| with Aus Registry.
| Smaller companies can then be resellers interfacing with the
| registrar's.
| Or does everyone just apply to be a registrar / reseller to AusRegistry?
| I think if someone can explain the structure (like above?????) it will
| be a bit clearer for all and sundry.

Almost. Registrars apply to auDA to be registrars. The new registry
operator is simply performing the registry function under contract from
auDA.
