More Aussie domain shenanigans

auDA, the Australian domain administrator, is in a blue with one of the the biggest registrars, Netregistry.

What has upset the auDA is what they consider to be Netregistry's failure to comply with the .com.au policies.

The demand by the auDA that the ws.com.au domain be deregistered is deeply unfair. A look at the company's website shows it is a legit business. Imagine having your domain pulled after spending ten of thousands on design, marketing and stationery?

Netregistry deserves a pat on the back in standing up for the customers. We can be sure their biggest competitor would have pulled the domain without any thought for their customer's business.
