Jon, With everything that is happening, movement to registry, code of conduct, registrar accreditation and more, we would be more than willing to review such a site and depending on content and the way in which the information was presented refer our clients to this site for up to date information regarding the FACTS about .au domains. I believe such a site will need to be reviewed by the auDA and be given a go ahead to represent the hole community. Michael-Pappas www.clickngo.com.au > Hi Jon, > > I agree with you here.
