That is a very bold statement perhaps you can expand on that and tell us all your 20 years experience in the domain industry.

A totally different skill set?
I think Erhan from Cooper Mills Lawyers has been on the Board for a number of years.

Ian are you on the Board or getting Board? Seriously, do you think the Board is effective and efficient? Or shall we all “Wait a Minute” speaking of minutes, we would all like to see the minutes. I recall you did help bring about the SGM because you wanted to see them returned. Where are they?

All right Ian; you win. Yours is bigger than mine.
See you on the 28th November!

You're not doing him any favours by pointing that out.
The very people you railed against by backing the SGM protest.
Is he your bestie now?
Has he promised you votes or something?

It’s unfortunate that there are 3 DNT members vying for 2 positions. It was never supposed to be that way – but it is what it is.
One thing I do know is that there must be some at auDA who are just loving seeing this banter. The old adage of “divide and conquer” comes to mind.
But the fact is, we are all good candidates in our own ways.
As I said in an earlier post, Nicole and I look forward to the election contest. If Ian Halson (Lemon) beats either of us, then well done to him. I hope he will reciprocate and congratulate us if we send him packing!
Let's just get on with it.

I am thrilled to receive this support from ausCERT
AusCERT (a member of auDA) supports Nicole Murdoch’s application for Demand Class Director at auDA.
Mike Holm, Operations Manager at AusCERT, makes this recommendation based upon his knowledge of Nicole’s experience, passion for the industry and suitability for such a role. AusCERT views the governance of the .au namespace as extremely important not only for reduction in cybercrime but also to encourage investment in Australian organisations.
Kind regards,
Mike Holm | Operations Manager AusCERT | Protecting organisations from cyber threats since 1993.

I just received your email on direct registrations, more fence sitting!
Given Simon Johnson is your stated backer and you seem to share the same completely unclear stance on .au, do you also support his fit and proper special resolutions?
Lemon

The only certainty is that direct registrations will happen just like marriage equality will happen.
The minority, like you, may bitch and moan about it and try to impede it in as many ways possible but the reality is that it will come about.
All I care about is the process, as I said in my email.
What do you think the response will be if you go to 2.5 million .com.au owners and ask what they think.
Personally I think the YES vote will be greater than the NO vote.
Then we look at the economic implications.
The process needs to be followed in a logical progression.

So are you in favour of direct registrations or not? If there is a board vote to scrap it which way will you be voting? I think you'll just go with whatever works for you at the time because we keep getting non committal answers from you on the subject.
Secondly, why are you avoiding this question? "Do you support Simon's special resolutions?"

Why does auDA some on the auDA Board and you not want the 2.5 million .com.au owners to get the chance be better informed and contacted?
https://www.arnnet.com.au/article/5...ern-over-proposed-domain-name-system-changes/
"The Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) has written to the .au Domain Administration (auDA) board to voice concerns over the proposed changes to the Australian domain name system.
auDA has proposed to introduce a .au environment without the need for .com, .net, .edu extension on domain names, enabling domains like www.accan.au to be registered.
ACCAN claimed, in a statement, that Australia’s current domain name system is highly regarded and has strong public recognition and the proposed changes could have adverse effects on small businesses that rely on their website and domain name to attract business if other parties register and use similar domain names.
It could also result in additional expenses incurred by small businesses that have to defensively register additional domain names to protect their businesses, it added.
ACCAN CEO, Teresa Corbin, indicated the changes may be confusing to consumers as recognised domain names of businesses and organisations could change.
“ACCAN has consulted with a number of small businesses who have expressed concern over the proposed changes to Australian domain names. There is a strong likelihood that small businesses will incur extra costs due to defensive registrations, not to mention the extra time and effort they’ll need to spend ensuring their domain name and business are protected.
“We are concerned that to date feedback on the changes has largely been from the domain name industry and the consultation has not adequately taken into account other perspectives such as those of small businesses. A lot of small businesses may not even be aware of the proposed changes,” she said.

You are obviously not listening. Like any Board member the decision will be based on the information provided.
I think it is a good idea.
Do you think we should allow crooks and criminals on the auDA board?

What is your definition of a crook and criminal? Using your own definition have there at any time been any on the auDA Board.. or even staff?
Lemon

Once again you have your information wrong.
I totally agree with ACCAN see point 3 above.

I assume it would be the same as yours.
