Last I knew these rejections have gone on since the earlist days of .com.au
and as such there isnt a comprehensive database of requests/rejections..

I know im my previous role I must have rejected 100's of requests as having
no way of being sucessful and now I should go back and suggest they
reapply??  The rules were the rules as they stood at the time.. If we want
to cut these loose then an auction is about as equitable as it gets, and
auDA gets some extra funding..
