My Apologies: http://www.auda.org.au/about/about-overview/ In December 2000, the Australian Government formally endorsed auDA as the appropriate body to administer the .au domain space. The Government holds reserve powers in relation to domain names under the Telecommunications Act 1997. More Specifically: http://www.iana.org/cctld/au/alston-to-watson-31dec00.htm Quote: > The Commonwealth's endorsement of auDA as the appropriate entity to hold > the delegation of authority for administration of the au ccTLD is subject at > all times to auDA > operating within the provisions of its company constitution and to the > fulfilment by auDA of the following conditions: > Given that the Internet naming system is a public resource in the sense > that its functions must be administered in the public or common interest, auDA recognises > that the management and administration of the au ccTLD are subject to the ultimate authority of the Commonwealth of Australia; /QUOTE Please note,.

No, they are not a Government agency and don't act on behalf of the Government. Unless I am mistaken auDA made the decision about selling/auctioning domains.

These "licences/assets" assist business organisations in promoting and providing productivity for same. My Simple question to AuDa is on what premise do they restrict the free commercial trading of that licence/asset. Can Auda provide a valid reason under law as to why they have restrictive mandates in relation to the .au domain space.
