If the 2LD space under .au is not be opened up further then why does ADNA
or any other body have to be formed. I do not really care about .de or
.it.

Somebody at the last meeting said that kre had managed so far by just
approving next to no 2LDs for some time. If the management of .au is to
happen by automatic rejection then fine. What about the biz.au and acn.au
that been floated around - either they have been rejected or haven't even
been tried - I do not really know but there has to be an organisation in 
place to handle any new application for 2LD name space then the right
desicions can be made. 

I can see a need for some of the names under the IAHC proposal.
I suppose we could say why do the 2LD under .au need to generally
following some of the present top level domains :

.com   -  .com.au
.org   -  .org.au
.net   -  .net.au
.edu   -  .edu.au
.gov   -  .gov.au


I think that people expect it to follow as it has in the past.

Thats why !
