Are you asking whether a domain name is an asset, or why can auDA sell and auction domain names but the rest of the industry cannot ?

These "licences/assets" assist business organisations in promoting and providing productivity for same. My Simple question to AuDa is on what premise do they restrict the free commercial trading of that licence/asset. Can Auda provide a valid reason under law as to why they have restrictive mandates in relation to the .au domain space.
