If your Registrar appears as auDA, the Australian Domain Administration, you must 
transfer your domain name to one of the following Registrars located at 
http://www.ausregistry.com.au/registrars.htm (To further understand this instruction 
please visit http://www.auda.org.au/news-archive/auda-01072002/ for relevant 
information)"

So why are "shawkes" and/or the UWA getting special treatment here? Why is the 
registrar showing as auDA - wasn't all this supposed to be done and dusted by now? 
(Has anybody still got the email Disspain sent out to registrants on the transfer away 
from auDA shortly after that motley crew hijacked the .au domain space?)

Note the email address appears to be invalid. Bunch of incompetents.


What is going on here?
