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.
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.
All of the proposed new Australian second-level domains have been rejected by the New Names Advisory Panel.
auDA's New Names Advisory Panel has recommended the establishment of new second level domain names based on Australia's states and territories.
