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.
AusRegistry believes it still has a chance at running the .org domain space, despite a recommendation from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that the tender be awarded to rival bidder ISOC.
The US-sanctioned Internet domain name management body is still struggling to bring the world's top-level domains under its fold.
The .TM country-code top-level domain space is back in action after a four-year hiatus, bringing an additional source of funds to Turkmenistan.
The .au domain name space is looking to adopt a dispute resolution procedure but it's unlikely to take on the UK's 'three strikes and you're out' rule that will prevent domain name hijackers abusing their powers over .uk domain names.
