"Clarification: .au direct registration requirements
In his interview with Radio National on Monday 29 Jan, Policy Review Panel Chair John Swinson noted that one proposal for direct registration was that there would be no eligibility rules and that anybody could register .au. This is incorrect, and the proposal is to remove allocation rules, which means an eligible registrant could register any domain name. "

Registry transformation project update
auDA’s .au Relationship Manager Peter Mason and Afilias’ Australian Country Manager John Kane have been meeting with registrars across Australia to get their input on the transition plan to ensure it meets the needs of all stakeholders.
How the transition between registry operators happens is key to the success of the project. We’ve been working closely with both Neustar Asia Pacific and Afilias Australia to ensure a safe and efficient transition.
We were happy to hear registrars share our confidence in Afilias Australia's approach to this project which draws on their substantial experience seamlessly transitioning numerous other top level domains.
You can read Afilias Australia’s thoughts on the project over on their newly-launched .au Transformation Blog.
