The rules governing domain name sales and transfers in Australia were relaxed this week as domain name registry body auDA released its new change of registrant policy.
Australia's second level domain name system for government may have an air of legitimacy, but bureaucratic bungling is confusing Web administration between levels of government, according to one German researcher.
The provider of domain name registry services for second-level .au domains will continue to operate the service until mid-2010 under a contract awarded Friday.
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.
An accredited domain name registrar accused of transferring domain names without the owners permission has angrily denied the charge, saying it had permission to transfer the names.
"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.
A Sydney Web-based business has been stripped of its registered domain name with only 24 hours notice by an administrative body, after it was found to have "wrongly lapsed" from its original owner early last year.
