Fantastic news.. glad to see it'll be happening very soon!

I saw that too. I am glad enough people made enough noise to finally get rid of this unnecessary restriction.

Congrats again to those who were on the Secondary Market Working Group panel, you should be proud

great news.. next to go should be need for abn, acn, trademarks..etc... and an independant 30 day appeal process for auda policy delete decisions...great work Auda on your good policy changes lately...more to come please!

also needed is Free COR - Change of Registrant should be free and just use the existing time period left on the domain name. ( same as .com ). COR can be done online now without the need for any admin effort of registrar/ reseller so it could be free if Auda makes registrants able to use existing domain registration period left.

Come on Auda change this COR please so its Free. The reasons to charge are gone now

http://www.metahead.com/how-to-push-...dy-domain-name we need this same process here! Its free and fast. I believe Enetica already does it but Auda makes people do a new 2 year registration. If Auda uses the existing domain period left there would be no reason to charge. ( auda makes a fee from every name registered / every COR at the moment)

common sense prevails - well done.

i was happy enough to hear this news but even moreso after finding out an hour later that a domain I've agreed to purchase is still subject to the 6 month restriction.

There should be a facebook "like" button on that post... it'd be the most popular things AUDA has ever done.

Heartening news. Now to tackle the one-sided policies on domain name 'monetisation' and the domaining industry in general.

Just my 5 cents here (We don't have 2 cents in Australia anymore ) - in my opinion, 'monetisation' is a deliberate term AUDA have employed in an attempt to deligitemise the domaining industry.

I am very new to the industry, but it seems clear to me that domaining is like any other business and industry involving speculation, calculated risk and purchases - if person A thinks of idea A first, person A owns idea A.

The fact that AUDA seem to be going out of their way to hinder legimtimate, creative and business savvy domaining operators tells me who they really care about representing most. Hint: it's not us.

This is great news indeed!

Now to resurrect some negotiations that were scuppered by this 6 month rule previously...
