18. Advertising
18.1 The parties will develop a set of mutually acceptable advertising
guidelines setting out the policies and procedures for selling and
displaying advertising on the Website.
18.2 All advertisements placed on the Website by the Contractor must comply
with the advertising guidelines developed in accordance with clause 18.1. No
advertising shall be placed on the Website unless and until the relevant
guidelines have been finalised and accepted by both parties.

Does the word ambiguous mean anything?  "mutually acceptable" ... I like
that.

As I see it (via dig) the img source is not www.aunic.net ... this may
explain why I had to wait indefinetely for an ad to appear the other day ..
but I probably imagined that anyway.

So .. a service that has dependents also has dependencies ... poor aunic.net
... caught in the middle.

I can't wait for ...

% AUNIC hosted for auDA by http://www.netregistry.com.au/

I'm probably wrong in my thinking anyway ... I apologise now, I am just
seeing it in a narrow minded way.
