Hi Peter continued for you, the CMWG, auDA Management, Board, Paid auDA "Consultant" PR Spin Doctor Ian Hanke, Paid PR spin doctor Laurie Patton, Government and all;
1.
auDA membership should be available Opt in FREE for .au domain name Registrants the same way that CIRA does it for their .ca domain name Registrants.
The fees which are going to these bodies from domain name paying registrants is far more than is required to cover a membership which 99% will probably not even take up. 2.7 million .au Registants at 0.5 % membership take up would be successful. and on par with CIRA's 15,000 Members.
Option for Non domain name Registrants to join auDA and pay the equivalent auDA fee's all existing .au Registrants are already paying $6.13 per year.
Limited to Australians / eligible .au registrants . Same as the CIRA model;
"Those wishing to register a .CA domain must comply with Canadian presence requirements.
These ensure that the .CA domain space can be used and developed as a key public resource for the social and economic development of all Canadians."
2. The CIRA model has been fought by current auDA Management and some Board members because they have said to some of us
"we can't control it" .... meaning they cannot stack it as easily themselves. The way this is worded shows who and what the problem is. It is current auDA Management and Board who are the problem and who have stacked the current membership, current auDA Jobs, current auDA Consultant jobs, current Board roles. in some cases it appears current contractors used for services etc.
3. The CMWG needs to stop being misled by current auDA Management, some CMWG members, and Board about the problem being the Grumpies, the SGM Majority, the Whistleblowers and real domain name industry people. We do not need less knowledgeable domain name knowledgeable people on panels, committees, boards and working at auDA we need more real experienced people who know what they are doing and it affects the .au namespace, .au registrants and users of the namespace!
4. We do not need more other non associated bodies or people trying to get into auDA to get the auDA funds for their other associations.
5.
auDA's role is management of the .au namespace.
- auDA does not run the Internet. The internet will exist and run without auDA
- auDA does not run the "digital economy' . The digital economy will exist and run without auDA
- auDA does not run the security of the internet. The security of the interent is handled by many other bodies, users etc. auDA plays little to no role in this AS THE GOVERNMENT REPORT SAID.
- auDA should not be the cash cow for other bodies, associations, Universities, charities, Consultants...
auDA's Cameron Boardman, management and Board are not supposed to be using auDA Funds trying to run Pacific country namespaces such as the Timor Leste /TL Namespace
auDA's Cameron Boardman, management and Board should not use auDA Funds to pay "Consultants" relating to any other country or any other namespace.
How much has been spent on the .TL Namespace or any other non .au namespace using auDA funds, time and resources?
