AusRegistry is on track to take over as the registry for .com.au, .net.au, .org.au, .asn.au and .id.au domain names early next month, CEO Simon Delzoppo has announced.
Go live date for the new.com.au, .net.au, .asn.au, .org.au and id.au registry has been pushed back, a move touted as being to give registrars more time to prepare for the changeover.
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.
auDA's suspension of reseller Internet Name Group as a provisionally-accredited registrar remains in place, even as the registry for .com.au, .net.au, .org.au and .id.au prepares to go live.
auDA wresting control of org.au and id.au second-level domain names from industry personality Robert Elz has been met with support from an industry desperately fighting to clean up its image with users.
