Hi all from AU,

Just for those that havn't seen the article:

Latest "net.au" mail out by Domain Names Australia Pty Ltd

Melbourne, 17 July 2003 - auDA has become aware that Domain Names Australia
Pty Ltd (DNA) is sending letters and/or faxes to some domain name
registrants regarding the net.au version of their .au domain name being
available or unregistered.

The communication is headed "Domain Name Registration" and could, in auDA's
opinion, be easily mistaken for an invoice. To this extent, auDA considers
that the communication could be misleading or deceptive.

DNA is a company controlled by Mr Chesley Rafferty, who is also a Director
of Internet Registry Pty Ltd.

auDA took legal action against Mr Rafferty and Internet Registry in 2002, as
a result of which Mr Rafferty gave several undertakings in the Federal
Court.

auDA believes that this latest mail out by DNA is in breach of some of Mr
Rafferty's undertakings, and we are pursuing the matter vigourously.

If you have received a net.au letter from DNA and you wish to lodge a formal
complaint, please send an email to info&#167;auda.org.au.

Internet Registry and DNA can be located at:
