Yes, that's pretty much right these days.  Even has a newsletter that's
been successfully pushing such further 'mercanisation for a while now.

Right, so you want to know which registrars will admit to breaching AuDA
policies to 'sell' you a mob of domains for which you are not eligible?
So you can 'resell' these to someone else who's not eligible I guess?

You may get some offers off-list, but you might have to wait till the
slather has completely finished being opened, sometime later this year
if the recommendations of the latest panel are to be fully enacted.

For now it'll just have to be done under the counter (nudge, wink) but
some say that's no impediment .. in fact past breaches of policies has
been advanced as a primary reason that all rules should be abandoned, so
you're definitely on the winning side ..
