HI HI

I agree!

I also note that: Immediately following the banning of James from this
list the level of noise about James is far more deafening than
personally caused by James.  

I see this as a double-standard being set by those who complain about
him the most!!!

James may not have asked the questions in a diplomatic way but I am
inclined to agree with the notion of greater public accountability from
the public non-profit body that purports to be "... vested with the
responsibility of operating the .au domain for the benefit of all
stakeholders."

Cheers

You asked: "What questions?"

For example, see the questions below in two postings to the DNS List by
James
Guy.


You said: " James didn't appear to have any direction."

I see he had at least one clear direction - to seek greater public
accountability by auDA.


We could each write separately to auDA and ask for a response to James
Guy's
questions, or similar questions.

I would prefer to see a public response by auDA to the questions raised
by Guy.

Regards

Ian Johnston

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?

Subject: [DNS] The new Trust Company

Why is Craig Ny of Maddocks a Director of this new Trust Company?  He
isn't even
elected by members?

Will this create a conflict of interest when the review of legal
services takes
place.  After all the Trust company will have quite a bit of swing when
it comes
to expenditure?

What are the constitutional implications of formation of this
subsidiary?
