[When auda staff are not acting in line with policies represented on the web site and will not advise the date and time of any policy review and you have clearly refused to seek confirmation from the Board - don't make me dig up the correspondence
pray tell what options are left.

As for your cutting me slack it seems that you need to reconsider your obligations under the auDA constitution.  You are performing a public service.  I am not the first to complain about your responsiveness.  The proxy postings will continue other people who may be restrined whill be heard.

I am giving you the benefit of the doubt on this thing.  There are questions that you need to answer and in the public forum.  They are matters that require a Board press release or response.  They require anwers from you and are valid to auda's mandate as administrator of the .au domain space.

Also lets see transcripts of Board meetings published.
