Sorry Gary - what is the question? If it is how do we proceed from here, I 
would suggest that something like acn.au, with a completely different mode of 
operation would be an interesting first step. As Simon has already said, the 
advantage of this particular domain (and I realise that it doesn't solve all 
problems) is that there can be *no* argument or discussion about entries 
therein, and an extremely effective search tool can be implemented directly by 
the ASC (or at least from their public information). As I have said before, 
this is not a complete solution to the problem, however I would suggest that 
there is *no* single solution and this would be a useful alternative approach 
that is worth exploring.
