Guys, just be careful the links don't work properly in the mailout as they forgot to put the http://auda.org.au/ at the start of the link so you end up at http://policies/index-of-published-policies/2014/2014-06/ then if you go onto the auDA page using the other link you end up following their hyperlink to a version of the policy which is 12 years out of date... it the 2006-02 version... so be sure to look at the 2014-06 version which is only currently accessible by "fixing" the link from the email to be https://auda.org.au/policies/index-of-published-policies/2014/2014-06/
