Australia's domain name regulator is considering opening up the nation's top level .au domain, in a dramatic proposal that could see second-level domains such as "example.au" made available.
NetRegistry has called on the Australian domain regulator to change its public consultation processes to get more input from domain name purchasers.
The public has a chance to have its say on the future of Australia's national top level domain with the federal government today releasing a discussion paper on the matter.
The .au domain name administrator has moved to stop resellers claiming customers must transfer their domain name registration to their registrar of choice as a "technical requirement" of the Web-site hosting process.
The .au Domain Administrator has commenced a new policy on transferring domain name registrations which some in the industry are calling the final nail in the coffin for Melbourne IT.
"If you own an .australian Web site you need to know who we are," screamed an orange and grey advertisement the nation's domain regulator placed in several newspapers.
