The Australian domain names regulator has announced it will kick off the ballots for new geographic domain names in .net.au and .com.au from next month.
The .au domain administration body (auDA) said last night it planned to sell off previously-prohibited geographically-based domain names in the .com.au and .net.au spaces in AU$500 bundles, as well as implementing a host of other significant changes.
Australia's Internet domain name regulator is considering changing the rules governing how certain domain names are allocated after reports some companies and individuals may be exploiting the current system.
auDA has found high demand for the domain names it's auctioning, with more than 3600 applications already received.
A director of auDA, Tony Staley, has been elected to ICANN's Nominating Committee as the delegate representing operators of country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
