It would affect existing registrants dramatically, as it would be the superior extension
I wonder if they would grant priority to existing registrants?
Found this:
What I'd like to know is what happens when New Zealand becomes a part of Australia?
.anz?

(Why are the .NZers beating us to this? Kind of embarrassing. :/

I was thinking just the same thing. Going out and getting the consent of the net.au owner would be a right pain.

SO, am i getting this right?
newzealand plan to bring in JUST .nz , thus we all have to go and cover our arses if we own a .co.nz BUT if someone owns the .net.nz then there could be an issue or at least a "first to the post race" ?
SO THEN, some bright spark in oz gets the idea and we end up with a .au which means firstly i better go get the .net.au for my "loved" domains as suggested in case this happens which just means more $$$$ so that WHEN/IF it happens here i can then go and spend more $$$$ on getting the .au !!!
SO, does this mean the value of a .net.au just went up?
My opinion is adding in things like .xxx , .iinet etc so be it but when you actually screw around with millions of peoples domains its going to get nasty.
.co was bad enough why move to .nz or .au ?
its like showing up late to a football game and changing the rules or have i just totally missed the plot here?

your explaination is valid but it doesn't correct the fact that its potentially an extra charge to bear, as i am SURE nowbody is going to let go of the .com.au to move to the .au
the compounding effects of this worldwide seem to be a money grab and we are all the suckers hanging onto the coat tails.
now if you own 200-1000 domains then thats a huge cost
i know this isn't going to happen but i think if you own the .com.au then you should be GIVEN the .au , sounds silly but as i said earlier, " don't come into the game and change the rules"

no its not !!! , i'm talking about a localised shift that has been SET for manyyyy years, your logic suggests i should be given the .eu ?
if .co.nz moves to .nz then my idea holds ground.
don't go and say to australia "this is the standard...." and then sell a few million and then say "oohhhh we've changed our minds and we are going to charge you for it....."
its more like saying every car in australia has to get an extra digit in the licence plate and its an extra $50 ( whihc might well happen !!! )

Who cares about google? Nor should Google be considered in issues of this sort.
newTLDs will be created, whether they like it or not. If their systems and bots and algorithm cannot handle it, so be it.
They are building their own walled garden anyway with G+ so like I said, who cares.

Hold on: The thing is, nobody ever said that .com.au was the standard - they just provided two options - .com.au and .net.au
They're called auDA not .com.auDA or .net.auDA
Also were it to be done in .au I don't see it so much as them changing their minds, more like fixing a (preexisting?) mistake.
As for .nz, I expect an uptake in the registrations for .net.nz domains... and .geek.nz and whatnot

well on that logic lets go change the worlds power point sockets to one format !!!
now thats a pre existing mistake , as is the driving on the left side of the road, the railway lines gauge, the lightbulb sockets, and lets just go down the path of having a universal language... i suggest "klingon"
did we have to pay when they changed the phone numbers way back in 1998? http://users.tpg.com.au/users/mpaine/austfone.html
well we actually did via business cards etc but we did not have to FIGHT for our new number it was just given to us.
could you imagine if a business had to fight for their phone number? because of a "preexisting mistake" it would be WAR.
Rhythm i can't really understand your side on this issue and why you are validating it !

One reason, $$$
Good for administrators, good for registries & registrars, bad for businesses facing higher renewal costs, confusing for consumers.
