The only evidence that I had to present in order to get rogerclarke.com.au
was fill in an affidavit to the effect that I used the name.

The policy at:
http://www.ina.com.au/register/names.html
suggests that I should have done a *little* more than that.

I used the words "Individual Trading Under Own Full Name", which I think I
got from somewhere on INA's (then?) Policy document.

The key words in the present document are:

"2. Types of Eligible Commercial Entities

"Only commercial entities registered and trading in Australia will be
allocated a com.au domain name. ...

"The following table lists types of eligible commercial entities. To
register a domain name for a type of entity not listed in the table, you
will need to demonstrate:

      That you have the rights to the commercial name, or
      That the commercial entity is registered with a recognized Government or
      industry authority.

 Type of Eligible Entity        Identified by   Authority
 Trading Name and Legal Names   ABN             Australian Business Registry
 ..."

No, I don't have an ABN in the name Roger Clarke.

And rogerclarke.com has been registered by some non-Roger Clarke in Florida.
Maybe I should start one of those celebrity legal actions in order to get
it off him  (:-)}
