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.
Australia's domain name regulator is considering opening up the nation's top level .au domain, in a dramatic proposal that could see second-level domains such as "example.au" made available.
A proposed review of little-used second-level domains by .au Domain Administration (auDA) has left a cloud hanging over the domain for Australia's biggest Linux conference.
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.
Google's indexing service dropped all Web sites with a .com.au extension for a few hours on Friday afternoon, effectively leaving millions of sites unattainable from the Net's most popular search engine.
