Like everyone else I'm wrapped that you're running Ned. No one has more experience, knowledge and passion than you in this space, and importantly, the respect of demand class members. I'm honoured to be running along side you for the two positions to be voted on in November. My announcement...

I don't disagree, but I do think it's reasonable for a member organisation to have a member code of conduct. Not the one we were slapped with of course...

100%.

The following post isn't supposed to support the title of this thread, but given the subject (Michaella's appointment) I feel it is relevant. Ordinarily this isn't the type of thing I'd post publicly about. I think most people know they can tell me anything and trust that I won't tell another...

Great interview Rob. I must admit that I initially fell into the camp that thought Fetch and PD were just very lucky cases of 'right time, right place', but it was great to hear the full story. Awesome stuff.

Well said Andrew. I've just renewed my membership.

It feels like something that belongs to all of us is being hijacked by a very small handful of people. For what? What's the motivation to act in the way they are?

* * Actually spotted on the Melbourne Car Spotters Instagram page... Nice plates though. :p

Absolutely. I took up the direct option on a few of my NZ domains, but aside from the most important ones, they'll be being dropped in the near future.

Plenty of rain here in Brisbane. This was less than 100m from our office yesterday morning. Thankfully it didn't get much worse.

I've had one each and every month since 2006. :p You do have to put time into it, but ultimately it's just about getting a heap of quality traffic to your site.

Just thought I'd get in early and declare that I won't be nominating for the auDA elections this year. I conduct my businesses in a certain way, and I'm proud of that, but I don't think it fits with the way auDA likes to run itself. From the outside it appears that auDA is full of...

It must have been. At the AGM it was said that they were still looking at some sort of selective tender. Now they're saying "The Board of auDA has unanimously resolved to enter into a period of exclusive negotiation with AusRegistry..." So as I read it, using the definition of "unanimously"...

My understanding was that it would not be an open tender.

Well said Tim. A big thanks from me also. We've done our best, and now we can only wait for the outcome on Monday. Thanks to everyone who has supported us. Tim has done an amazing job campaigning, and if only one of us gets up, and it happens to be Tim, it will be thoroughly deserved and...

I would not be excluding myself from such discussions. Whether or not direct registrations are implemented will have no material impact upon my businesses. The auDA meeting minutes from 20 June show that whilst one director (Erhan) excluded himself on the basis of his domain portfolio, a...

Around 100 for me. As with Tim I previously owned more, but have let a lot of lower quality names drop over the last few years. I'd say around 90% of my names relate to my businesses and the rest are just 'nice' domains.

Presumably using an old list. It's definitely an advantage (perhaps unfair?) that incumbents have.

Interesting question. I've noticed a few big overseas news websites doing this, although it seems to only happen when the article is accessed via a shared link on Facebook...? I was under the impression Google didn't like it.

I saw a similar meme for power tools and had to create this… Can anyone else relate...? :eek: :p
