In the interest of full disclosure, the following domains that sold at yesterday's auction, "hh.com.au", and "computershops.com.au", have been withdrawn from the sale, by the sellers.
We failed in our duty to deliver the expected outcome as it related to the auction close extended periods i.e. the “endless” 5 minute extensions. Unfortunately, the sellers of those two affected domains were not satisfied with the option we took yesterday to reopen the auction for a further 30 min, preferring rather to re-run the auctions.
I made a decision to not re-run the auction again, so the sellers have exercised their right to remove those two domains domains from the sale.
Moving forward, the software problem has now been fixed, and we are introducing new policies to better manage any unforeseen problems that could impact on future auction close zones. A clear process will be published so all parties will know what to expect.
Thank you to all our sellers, and the to the winning bidders, and for everyone's co-operation and understanding.
Our next auction will close September 9, and we hope to have the domains up shortly. We will make sure that we test and re-test software for the next one!
Best Regards,
George Pongas
