Afilias won the 1st Jult 2018 .au Wholesale Registry subcontractor job with 60% lower pricing to that of the old wholesale pricing.

Where are the real benefit for existing and potential .au domain name Consumers?

Now auDA current management CEO Cameron Boardman & his auDA Board are cleary ripping off everyone!


In yet another blatant example of poor auDA mismanagement by current CEO and Board they have now chosen from 1st July 2018 to;

1. Increase auDA's monopoly Fees / Taxes on every domain name registered, renewed and Change Of Registrant.
2. Secretly planned and approved for themselves to get pay rises.
3. Kept secret from .au domain name Consumers how the "marketing slush fund" really works and what the benefit is for the existing 3.1 million .au domain name Consumers.
4. Spend $ millions of auDA funds on the .TL Namespace in breach of the auDA Constitution and others Consultants with no breakdown who the Consultants are, what their ties are to current auDA Management, Board, Liberal Party.
5. Every paid Consultant should be disclosed by auDA on the public record and to members with a very clear breakdown how much they are being paid or have been paid over recent years.

Rather than reduce their auDA management expenses of the .au namespace the auDA CEO Cameron Boardman and current Board have gone backwards.

The Government review has been ignored and the Current CEO and Board have not changed, they have gotten worse

The current management has stuck their finger up to stakeholders, .au domain name Consumers, Supply Registrars, Resellers and Government.

The only chance to save and improve auDA is to vote YES at the 27th July 2018 SGM for all 4 legal resolutions.

So Afilias win the tender by reducing the wholesale price by 60% and auDA boast about passing on only a 10% reduction.

What about the rest of the savings? Oh this will fund the "new $12 million marketing and innovation program over 4 years to increase the awareness and use of .au"

Wow $12 million to help the 1 or 2 Australians that don't know .com.au is for Australian domain names.

A cynic might say this $12 million will go to maaaaates given the track record so far with consultants. Is this the best lurk since Centenary House?
