Several rumours circulating about the auDA Foundation and forensic accountants being called in?
I look forward to reading the latest Foundation review and updates...It has been 6 years since the last review one apparently and large amounts of paying .au domain name registrant money given away.
I think if auDA has so much profit made off paying .au domain name registrants that they can give it away they should in fact reduce the wholesale .au pricing as they said would be done 8 years ago;
