Thanks for the heads up Troy.

Are you able to share any details about the policy delete issue you're facing?

They are far more reasonable than they used to be, that's for sure.

The key point as Jonathan said is

"You cannot register a domain name for the sole purpose of resale or transfer to a third party"

However if you registered a domain on day 1, parked it somewhere and listed it for sale on day 2 wouldn't it be reasonable to say you registered it in order to monetise it for 6 months and then possibly consider selling it.

The fact that monetisation was part of the reason of registration means that resale can't be the sole purpose of registration.

However saying that, it's probably best to wait 6 months before listing anyway just because if you do get an agreement to purchase you won't be able to follow through.

There was an incident last year where a domain sale was made and the COR was put through... the registrar assumed that the domain was older than 6 months old.. but it wasnt.

AusRegistry system noticed this so the domain status was updated and auDA notified.

auDA wern't very happy about it and they threatened to look up all of the registrants names (some 500+), cross reference the domains under 6 month against those listed for sale on aftermarket sites such as NF and the delete them.

.. they didn't do it but they proved their point. The registrant should've known better.

As David said I wouldn't be listing names during that peroid.

Hi Jonathan,

While we're all playing fairly I won't say too much, but the issue is with regard to interpretation of Auda's registration policies. The policies have a lot of grey in them which means Auda employees have to interpret the guidelines. For instance, there's no definition of what constitutes a service and therefore I'll interpret it one way and Auda may interpret it another way. This is why legal documents normally have 2 pages of definitions prior to the body of the contract.

I'll most likely lose some domains and while I'm not happy (and believe Auda's wrong) I appreciate the professionalism shown by their staff when I've contacted them. This was the opposite of what I'd heard about Auda.

Also, I've had two different registrars involved in the process NetRegistry/Hostess and Intaserve. Intaserve have gone out if their way to help while NetRegistry/Hostess's service has been disgraceful. I'm starting to wonder how much saving a dollar or two using Hostess actually costs me.
