Exactly.
Perhaps in the medium term, kre could take on a role like the
"Govenor General" of AU (if he and ADNA are happy with that,
and assuming that all goes well with ADNA in the short term).

Again, I don't think its wise to request suggestions for new domains
until the community has had a chance to see what is proposed for com.au.

For example, there was a request for biz.au many months ago.  If the
right solution is found for com.au, then most of the original reasons
for this request (as I remember it) disappear.

Having something with a less voracious appetite for $$$ would be
