The only problem is that if you do the math, it doesn't make commercial 
sense to take advantage of the promotion. The service and management 
requirements cost more than the few dollars savings for the .id.au volumes.

In my opinion, it would have made more sense to have no service bundling 
imposed (left up to VARs), and set the new .id.au domain expiry to +6 
months from the registration time, instead of the deletion/continuation 
process. That would have fit in with the existing domain supply chain 
framework, not requiring any separate handling. Ie. $0 to deploy the promotion.
