Dear Chris, I had a read of http://www.auda.org.au/docs/public-forum-report.html and there is no mention there whatsoever of the issues I have raised. A url showing clearly where these issues have been addressed would be greatly appreciated. I await your response.

I would like a public statement from auDa as to who stands to benefit the most from auctioning domain names. I would like to know how it is possible that this was perceived to be the fairest option and how this decision came about. It is clearly an unfair process and should be seriously reconsidered. Why not release previously generic tagged .com.au domains in a similar fashion to the .biz release process. You can several good points as to why not release .au this way but I cannot see how this applies to .com.au I await your response.
