Hi All,

I was going to wait a few more days before I asked onlist the same 
question I put to the auda email address, but seeing how only some of my 
questions normally get answered, I may as well make the question public...

What can a person do if they want a domain that they know to be 
fraudulently registered..

So..for the sake of clarity...
If I want to register domain XXXXXXXXXXYYYYYYYZZZZZZZ.com.au or 
XXXXXXXYYYYYZZZZZZ.net.au and I know that the domain registrant has a 
bodgy ABN, how do I go about registering the domain?

Who do I make a comlaint to?
Who do I apply for the domain to?
Do I just go to my friendly neighbourhood reseller,or do I have to get a 
ruling from AUDA first?
What is the correct procedure?

Again, for clarity's sake, the ABN detail I'm referring to is not an 
expiry, but a clear fraudulent entry..

I'm also wondering if a script is in place to check if a compny has a 
corresponding ABN/ACN when registering a domain...and if it's not, then 
why not?

Especially if it is a requirement of a .com.au or .net.au registration....


Mike.
