The generic auction was only for com.au names.

The DNS list is not going to solve your problem, if that is what you're
trying to achieve?

If you have exhausted all of the avenues provided by the published auDA
policies then you have the courts to take your claim to.

Also a large proportion of the 368 subscribers to this list are your
peers (lawyers).  I suggest that you re-read your posts to the list with
that in mind.
