    auDA announces "Domain Investor Focus Group" without even calling for members

    You have a fertile imagination about my motives and no quantitive research on why we need this. A hypothesis is just that. It needs data to be proven. What business looks at trying to implement something without a business case to justify looking at it? Your logic sounds like ->"Who wants biz.au...

    auDA announces "Domain Investor Focus Group" without even calling for members

    You can read my submission to the DoCA review where I outlined some of the risks. I say there is no demand because when I asked for proof of demand at the PRP I was shut down. If there is demand, lets see the data. I don't think you understand that I will make good money from Direct AU. We are...

    auDA's "rigged" new constitution and member model exposed

    The "current thinking" of the PRP in Feb was anyone can register a .AU no restrictions, no rules. At least that is what was said at the public forum.

    auDA announces "Domain Investor Focus Group" without even calling for members

    How about a digital marketing group? We have to deal with the fallout. Tim is right. Business does not want direct AU. I've spoken in front of over 1000 people this year in Syd, Mel, BNE & ADL. The response is always incredulity. All they ask is "Why?" ..and here we are.

    WHY the 955 must go.

    The chair also said at the SGM that he wrote the protocol and is definitely on their web site. Surely he would not risk a small bottle of lemonade over this?

    WHY the 955 must go.

    I did that live at the SGM, I crawled every page with screaming frog software then searched the results. I found nothing and asked the chair on the day. He said there was a new protocol put in place after the last AGM and it was published on their site. If it wasn't there he promised to buy me "...

    auDA General Meeting save the date

    actually bad idea. Those services won't allow duplicate email addresses. Anyone know what they use for mailouts? Looks like they track clicks so that info could be made available to CMWG for engagement measurement. curl -I https://www.lists.auda.org.au/lists/lt.php?id=e0sHBAdEBlYGGVAOUwwF...

    auDA General Meeting save the date

    If they used a mail facility with open tracking, the reports would be good for the CMWG to look at to get an idea of current member participation rates. See if the message is getting through to all members.

    CMWG take note

    Hopefully the CWMG Agreed. I thought if you were serious about the Government reforms the CWMG would have been truly independent and be able to make recommendations without fear or favour. This is not the case if they can't even address the elephant in the room of member stacking and the...

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    It's an introduction of another risk and as you rightly point out, one that can be mitigated with the right policy and procedures. All anyone is asking WHY are we doing this? Some of us understand the risks and costs by looking at data. What is the data based argument that outlines the benefits?
