New auDA Rules Announced

[chris]

auDA members may have already seen this, thought I'd share for those who haven't or aren't members.

Australian Domain Name Administrator (auDA) has announced that from 12 April 2021, new rules for com.au, net.au, org.au, and asn.au namespaces in the .au domain will come into effect.

...

Around 2.8 million have the com.au namespace; just over 223,00 are net.au; more than 73,000 are org.au; and just shy of 1,200 are gov.au.

Thanks for sharing @chris

"Sinclair said the new rules streamlined and simplified around 30 policies and guidelines that currently govern the .au domain."

That would explain the increase to 62 pages of rules and a 40 page explanatory guide.

Over 100 pages of confusing BS.

Well done auDA, vote yourselves a pay rise. Don't forget to put it in the minutes and then redact it ;-)
