If you in fact have the time to do this, then all well and good. For the most part the reputable resellers at the moment do everything that they can to educate, maintain and try to keep ahead of the shonky resellers. This is where most of our time is spent in the current situation. For me I could not even begin to think about an extra site to maintain and keep. People are giving there views and asking for something to happen. As the current resellers agreements are Melb IT's, they are the only one who can crack down on these resellers at the present time, the auDA does not have these agreements in have with the resellers them selves. The more of us that complain to the ACCC and Melb IT, maybe we can force something to happen. As we all move toward the registry being in place this will all change and all of our views and banter that happens here and outside this list will be actioned and we will see a stronger domain industry here in Oz. Good thing come to those who wait. Not to say that we sit on our hands and do nothing, educate the clients that you have and try to combat this on a home front until such a time as we can see agreements being put in place that will help us all play on a level ground. But with us taking the time to make sure that we have the right agreements, policies can only benefit what we all want to achieve.
