And the money saved by not having to devote resources to police these grey areas put into cheaper wholesale reg fees

Thanks for timely reminder DomainNames. You beat me to it.

It is going to be another interesting election as there has been a huge increase in "demand members" since the last election.

A lot of domainers and domain owners joined up earlier in the year which is great. However, there has been a lot of "other and unknown people" also join up recently.

Domainers / domain owners need to be represented by people genuinely interested in the domain industry - not faceless and unknown individuals who never make themselves known here. It will be interesting to see who puts their name forward for election.

I'm fairly sure we all agreed that there are some rules and regulations that need to be changed. And the best way to do this is from within i.e. be one of the Board Members.

Unfortunately, if you're not already an auDA member you cannot vote at this year's election. However, please don't let that put you off from joining. It's cheap - and I think you still get an auDA cap!

Hi guys

I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating for the auDA Board Elections.

I ask for everyone's support. The auDA Board is in desperate need of change, and needs Directors who understand our industry.

I have been involved in this industry for over a decade and most of you know me. Most of you also know that I have been campaigning against unfair regulation of monetisation and after market sales (among other things). We are one of the only jurisdictions in the world that have these type of restrictions.

These elections are very important - if you are an auDA member you have a chance to make a change! Make your vote count.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Cheers
Erhan

Lets get behing Erhan and help elect board members that REALLY understand the domain industry. Erhan is one of the good guys and i for one can vouch for that.

Erhan Karabardak of Cooper Mills is definitely a fine candidate. He ran last year and narrowly failed to be elected.

As "Admin" of DN Trade, I can absolutely recommend Erhan to those of you who don't know him.

He will definitely be a voice for domainers and domain owners - and has been an active supporter of DN Trade and its members.

Please vote for him!

Anyone else interested in contesting the election? There are two positions available.

Thanks guys really appreciate the support. We have a chance to make a difference, and bring some diversity to the auDA Board!

[Simon Johnson]

As most of you know I'll be running for the election this year. I thought I'd login and post this on DNT as many people are on here have voted for me in previous years.

Feel free to get in touch "Domainer Income" on Skype or send me a PM.

I will be pushing for candidates this year, if it is not James Wester I will vote for, let me know how I can help I own a few web master blogs and decent social profiles. I am sure I can get people motivated to vote for change...

[Cooper Mills DomainLawyer]

[italiandragon]
