Even if the Demand passes - it doesn't look like theres a chance of the Supply getting the votes required to pass the motion.

About 15 minutes ago CL said they need an additional 45 minutes.

At least one is legitimate - I know because I'm on there now.

(Return of Proxy Form): The completed and signed Proxy Form should be returned to the Company Secretary by: (a) post to: The Company Secretary .au Domain Administration Limited PO Box 18315 MELBOURNE VIC 3001 (b) hand to Level 17, 1 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000; or (c) email to...

It takes time to chisel!

You've got to look at point 8 (Which admittedly is silly because they've used white text on white background) but it says 8. minutes will not be generated retroactively, items previously hidden from members shall remain so.

A fantastic win for consumers - assuming its all passed on etc.. etc.. If the new registry can do it cheaper, GREAT! If it costs less for all, GREAT! I am simply unbiased. I am of the assumption that costs disclosed are correct and allow for a business to make profit at the same time. I am...

Errm. I agree? auDA needs change... auDA may very well not want to fill the spot - the constitution will catch up with them there.

SWIIIIIINNNGG! AND a miss. There's clear blue sky between your assumption and where I sit.

While I don't agree with how Lemon got a (short standing) position on the board... the two members that are now on the board are: Nicole "Is on the board and stopped posting to the people that elected her" Murdoch Ned "Been gagged by the board" O'Meara auDA needs change - I can't make that...

I have no affiliation with anyone that profits from anything .au Re: pricing - I’m not opposed to lowering it. I’ve said that several times already. I am however realistic in that it takes money to run the infrastructure and regulations for the name space. Yes they’re higher than other places...

Some may be that low. .au isn’t. I would wager the costs of running the datacentres here is greatly different to hosting in the US or India etc.. Of those $0.99 are they loss-leaders? How is the registry hosting them sustained? And of course - the security side of things - while .au does have...

Not a single cent. I would BARELY fir the demand side let alone supply. I just don’t have the same burning hate for auDA the vocal parts of this forum seem to have.

You don’t seem to understand ~$21 mil per year isn’t much when you consider salaries, maintenance, purchasing, research and development etc.. etc.. It’s not like the registry operator can half-ass the security or the operation of said registry. I welcome the change - keen to see how the new...

And they should have tendered no doubt - but the biggest arguement seems to be wholesale costs need to be lowered. That’s not always possible - even at volume. Our big banks could lower interest rates but have a business to protect - and the volume there is many times our 3mil+change domain...

No problem with that but don’t expect a business to not make money so people can save a buck. The tender “fixes” that but at the end of the day - if there’s no money to be made why would a business take the registry? If we race to the bottom (price) in tenders we would also get that. No...

No no. You don’t get the current wholesale. You have to reduce it. You don’t get to make profit or you’ll have to post on this forum that you’re too expensive. Also; if shareholders can’t make money, why can Domainers? Can’t have it both ways there.

No, I don’t work there. Not too hard to work out why I have some interest in this (as well as seeing the side of reason) Rising costs is BS? Did you just offer to run the registry with redundancy across the country with the same uptime AusReg achieved? All while lowering your business costs...

The transparency isn’t there is my point - no way to validate or invalidate whether there is a reason for having (what people see as) a large amount of money in the bank. I would love to see reasons why but at the same time - there’s got to be some reason or it would just get put into pockets...

You keep quoting the same thing from 2009. You’re literally whinging about $7 a year. Less than $0.02 per day. While it would be great to have lower costs to register we also need to take into account what it costs IN AUSTRALIA to provide services. The sad truth is; things in Australia cost...
