I do understand that John But when does it become unreasonable as far as registering a domain name and not using it? And how would you tell if I register a domain name just for the hell of it and to not allow some one to use it? There should be something in the policy to safe guard some one from hijacking a domain name After all, com.au is for commercial use -----Original Message----- From: John Thomson [mailto:john§hep10.com] Sent: Wednesday, 26 March 2003 16:09 To: dns§lists.auda.org.au Subject: RE: [DNS] com.au Domain Names I'll give you an example Tim Lets look at say drive.com.au Think how many businesses might want that name. driving schools business success training golf related just to name a few. Whoever gets in first owns the name. It is that simple.

But it's only possible to have one .com.au domain - one for Australia. Inevitably 5 legitimate businesses will miss out, even though they are all equally qualified. The first one in, by default, disqualifies their competitors. That's not a policy issue - that's competitive reality. It would be impractical and unrealistic to develop a policy that allows every business to have a domain name just because they qualify. For example, I (and you) qualify to apply to register a business name Coca Cola - but sure as hell I wouldn't get it!
