Hi Guy
I agree with you
I had a long discussion with Chris Disspain
on Monday morning, asking him
who he thout he was?

He reckons that he is a "regulatory body"
like the ACCC.

I also told him that looking at his finances
he didn't have the resources to mount
"class actions" against a flea.

It turns out that DNA is not even a registry
and I suggested to him that if he had a problem
with them selling domains the way they are, he should simply
advise the registered registrars to not accept registrations
from DNA.

I explained to Chris Disspain that it would be more classy
if he staid (or is that stayed) out of any petty actions of others.

Anyway, my evaluation of the man is that he is a pompous
little prick who is letting his little bit of authority go to his head.

just my thoughts
Cheers
John

Subject: [DNS] auDA Foundation Ltd - This looks suspiciously like jobs for
the boys


What is the justification for spending public resources to create this
second company?



As auda is a not for profit organisation already what are the tax benefits?
.



What will the new directors be paid?  What are the costs in establishing a
subsidiary organisation?



Why could the functions of this trust not be operated from within auDA and
not through a trust?



My suspicion is that a foundation creates a platform that can split the
expenses of running auda's core functions between 2 organisations and
therefore disguise rising internal costs of auda.  It also creates jobs for
the boys.



The board needs to justify this approach.  Members have not been provided
with any information whatsoever prior to the approval of this restructuring.
Where is the member input?
