[LINK] Bottle Domain Challenge to AuDA; Origins of AuDA [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Kaul, Jasmine]

 And just to round out the discussion:
The Australian Government Information Management Office (where I am now)
deals with .gov.au domain names 
http://www.domainname.gov.au/About
"The gov.au domain is managed by the Australian Government Information
Management Office (AGIMO), a business group within the Department of
Finance and Deregulation.

AGIMO works in consultation with auDA, the industry regulatory body, and
state and territory governments. Please refer to the gov.au Domain
Policy and Governance Framework for further information.

Gov.au domain name data is passed on to the .au registry service,
currently provided by AusRegistry. The Registry maintains a "master
list" of gov.au domain names, which is used to point internet users to
the right websites based on the domain name they request.

The Department of Finance and Deregulation currently contracts
NetRegistry to provide registration services to the gov.au domain. This
includes providing web interfaces to support domain name registration
and administration, help desk support and interaction with the
registry."

I guess I should have offered some resources to help in the discussion.

(Please note that I added the <grins> icon to provide due warning!).

Try these:

See 5.5(4):
The Commonwealth has power under s.474 of the Telecommunications Act
1997 to "determine that ... a specified person or association is the
declared manager of electronic addressing in relation to a specified
kind of listed carriage service", which may (or may not) enable it to
anoint a registrar of the .au domain.

Amen to that.
