Hi Hugh

Thanks for poitning out I omitted the question. My question is the same
as that others have posed, viz what is wrong with allowing dictionary
words in .com.au subject to showing grounds for it.

The problem that I see with the acn approach I touched on in an earlier
msg, viz many companies are in a structure (eg operations, financing,
holding etc) and so have several acns within their "group".

Warm regards
Gary
