auDA plans to retrospectively invalidate names

[snoopy]

Just read this from the email that went out,

The Panel’s current view is to recommend that any new eligibility and allocation rules should apply on the next renewal of a domain name license. This will give domain name licensees who meet the current rules, but who will not meet any new rules, time to deal with the non-compliance.

To make this is a crazy idea, to suggest a policy retrospectively changing the rules for names already registered, that names validly registered will in the future become "non compliant" and that registrants will somehow have to deal with that.

If anyone hasn't got the message yet the PRP and auDA will continue to damage the credibility of the .com.au extension with uncertainty. Why would anyone invest in this namespace when a name they validly registered could be deleted on the basis of a future change?
