auDA Board accepts final report of 2010 Names Policy Panel

[DomainNames]

AUDA policy changes approved

http://www.auda.org.au/news-archive/auda-30082011/

So what does it mean exactly?

 

[DomainNames]

is the stupid "6 month rule before you can sell" now abolished allowing you to sell immediately if you want?

No - there is another thread about this.

There are two panels - the first one is the "Names Panel". That is the one that has almost reached ratification.

The "Secondary Market Panel" is the one Soj and I were on. This covers (amongst other things) the 6 month rule. Recommendations are all finished
and are to go to the next Board meeting I believe. We've just got to be a bit patient .....

This is definitely of interest, particularly the section under Domain Monetisation Policy

Interesting indeed.

The following recommendations were accepted:
Domain Monetisation Policy:

That:

the Domain Monetisation Policy (2008-10) should be abolished as a separate policy;
Schedules C and E of the Domain Name Eligibility and Allocation Policy Rules for Open 2LDs (2008-05) should be amended to include domain monetisation under the close and substantial connection rule for com.au and net.au domain names (as exemplified in Attachment A to the Panel’s report);
the existing conditions of use on domain names registered on the basis of domain monetisation under the “close and substantial” connection rule should be retained;
the definition of “domain monetisation” should be replaced with a description of permissible practice, to accommodate a range of monetisation models; and
the Guidelines for Accredited Registrars on the Interpretation of Policy Rules for the Open 2LDs (2008-06) should be amended to include additional explanatory material regarding domain monetisation.
