Chris, it's great to see some auDA proactivity!

ING are at it again, the latest unsolicited fax offering 10 years of .com/biz/info management for the special price of $999. Renewals of .com.au are also offered at a special price of $99 per year. The fax also says that if you don't renew, you'll lose your name to a competitor (Oh yeah - what happened to name derivation rules?). And to prevent this from happening you need your registry key, for which a statement MUST be worded giving ING the right to recover it. The fax was sent to a registrant who is NOT one of IRA's clients, it's for June renewal, and was sent today (March 20). But guess what? The fax boldly proclaims ING are not merely "a", but "Provisionally Accredited Registrar". I thought that to the public, there is no such thing - either you are a registrar or you aren't. Do they have the right to make those claims? Or is this another flaw that's now being blatantly exploited by IRA - another of those "it's not illegal" things? An open question - if we're busy trying to create a process of recourse for aggrieved consumers, what hope is there when the first point of escalation is IRA? Perhaps when a complainant is seeking compensation or satisfaction from a reseller for the very conduct practised by them?

It is self explanatory. I have no issue with IRA sending this out to their own customers or to someone who has contacted them to renew a name. However, I have information that they are being sent, unsolicited, to domain name registrants and that is a major concern. Would those on the list who are re-sellers please endeavour to ascertain whether any of their clients have received such an email UNSOLICITED. If so, please let me know as soon as possible.
