Sorry if you have already been subjected to my rantings...

I am afraid this will raise the hackles of many people, but I am still of
a firm opinion that governance (note that I said governance and NOT operation)
of the top level .AU domain should be the responsibility of a government or
semi-government body, preferably one that has other related responsibilities
such as ITU representation.  I believe that Standards Australia may be such
a body.

I am equally of the opinion that governance of the 2LDs should be by bodies
constituted of respresentatives of the area covered by the 2LD.
