We hand out the brickbats often enough. Here's a bouquet.
DCITA is now DBCDE (or BCDE, or BroCaDE, or something).
The new Government's approach will differ significantly from the
previous Government's, some of it spin, but some of it definitely
substance.
I went looking for a particular document published under the old
regime, and found it (quickly) here:
http://archive.dcita.gov.au/2007/12/broadband_blueprint
The home-page explains: http://archive.dcita.gov.au/
I wonder if there's an AGIMO or NAA or NLA guidance note that the
DCITA archival approach is compliant with. If not, maybe we should
write one!
[Aside: This further implies that government domain-name management
principles need to include recognition of the importance of defunct
names. In some cases that's tricky, e.g. DEWR was not that long ago
Employment and Workplace Relations, but is now Environment and Water
Resources.]
[Declaration (because this posting could easily sound like
buttering-up): I've had quite a few dealings with this part of
DCITA/BCDE over the years; but they haven't been a client for quite
some time, and I'm not currently making any plays for work there.]
