I am the CEO of auDA, the Australian

the things that auDA does to safeguard both
your domain name and your rights as a domain name registrant.
Each domain name in .au is managed by an auDA accredited registrar.
Registrars and their resellers are bound by a Code of Practice

In our role as industry regulator, auDA publishes Consumer Alerts and
other information that may be relevant to you. If you want to ensure

to our announcements list at

One of the responsibilities you have as a domain name registrant is to

up to date. To check your information go to http://www.mywebname.com.au/
