auDA claims high demand for generic domain names By Vivienne Fisher, ZDNet Australia January 16, 2002 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/business/soa/auDA-claims-high-demand-for-generic-domain-names/0,139023166,120262973,00.htm
There has been high demand for the generic domain names auDA is putting up for auction, with more than 3600 applications already received. Chris Disspain, chief executive officer at .au Domain Administration (auDA) said he was delighted with the response. In total there are more than 3000 names on the list, with 1360 of these applied for so far. Applications for generic domain names up for auction closes on January 31. Disspain said after that date each application would need to be reviewed, to assess whether the applicant was eligible. He is anticipating responses to all applicants will be made by the end of February. The names on the list of those being auctioned were previously classified as generic, and therefore unavailable to businesses. This list doesn't include geographic names, because the prohibition on their use remains in place until auDA has completed a policy review, due for next year.
