[AusNOG] .au Domain Registrations

Fri Jun 22 16:47:03 EST 2018

Hi James,

I am on the auDA board, however, I write this explanation in my personal capacity:

  *   In 2015, an advisory panel (“2015 Names Policy Panel”) recommended to the auDA board that direct registration (eg. “yourname.au”) should be adopted. Disclosure: I was actually on that panel (and not on the auDA board) at that time. Relevant report can be viewed here<https://www.auda.org.au/index.php/assets/pdf/2015npp-final-report.pdf>.
  *   The auDA board subsequently accepted the panel’s recommendation in principal, but recognised that implementation needed to be fleshed out before a final decision could be made.
  *   A panel (“2017 Policy Review Panel”) was established last year – their work is ongoing – that has the implementation model as one of their terms of reference.
  *   Once the PRP has advised their recommended implementation model, the auDA board will make a final decision on whether or not to implement direct registration.
  *   The board has publically stated that this decision will not be made until late 2019.

If you are interested in the potential implementation models (including, what happens to owners of existing .com.au/.net.au/etc) then you can read the Interim Report here:

https://www.auda.org.au/index.php/policies/panels-and-committees/2017-policy-review-panel/

If you want to be kept up to date on these matters, one option is to pay the $22/year to be a member of auDA:

I am happy to answer any further enquiries off list (eg. about direct registration or the upcoming registry transition).

Kind Regards,

So the option to buy just .au domains as a TLD wont be an option yet? I saw chatter about it a while ago.

Cheers,
James

Hi all,

Good idea to do any DNS changes before the 30th, as the registry will be locked for a period of time over the transition period.

1-5 year registration periods will be available from July 1.

Hi Chris,

The .AU domain registration agency is changing from AusRegistry o Afilias but that’s all, no real changes to the community except dealing with a new registrar body, no changes to .au domains are coming on that date.

Hi All,

With the changes coming on 1st July to the way .au domain registrations, is there a way to pre-register .au domains? Or is it a matter of “first in, first served”?

Thanks,

CH.
