"Mr Boardman leaves auDA in a financially sustainable and future-focused position for future growth."
Whoop de doo. So nothing has changed in the last 3 years.
Why is growth a focus for auDA? Stuff growth. The only people who need growth are the supply side not the general public or any other stake holders.
The direct registrations farce has been shoved down our throat by the supply side and it obviously still drives the board.
I doubt auDA is financially set. Damn accounts were pilfered by pirates. I recall last financial year auDA had it's first Loss ($million +) this fun year wouldn't be far from last.
What did it achieve, nothing, the old licensing rules are the same as the new with the exception of removing monetization as a basis for registration which was great for us. A constitution which only incorporated a single membership and a NomCom, nothing new.
Yet $10 million + were spent on policy development and a new extension nobody wants or needs, all of which a 3 year old with a crayon could have concluded for free.
