This letter is in response to a recent mailer sent by Domains
Australia headed “Domain Name Available” which offered a 5% discount
for orders received before 16 March 2005.

Yesterday I became aware of a Consumer Alert on your website at
www.auda.org.au which states that some of the letters sent out offered
to register a domain that was not available to be registered.

After checking with our mailing company, it quickly became clear that
there had been a number of letters sent out which were supposed to
offer a domain which was available and instead offered a .com domain
(which in many cases would not be available). This occurred as a data
file was merged with the incorrect wording file.

This error was in every respect a technical one, and was in no way
done to confuse the recipient of the letter.

As soon as I was aware of this problem, I placed a corrective notice
at www.domains-australia.com.au and placed a corrective message at 03
9923 6505 to inform all callers of the error in the mailer.

Also for orders received, we will contact each customer to inform them
directly of the error, to explain that the offer should have been for
a different domain and give them a complete refund.


Regards



Chesley Rafferty
Director
