Last week, auDA unilaterally cancelled Domain Director’s domain name
registration for “auregistry.com.au”. Domain Directors have owned and
used the domain name “auregistry.com.au” for the past eight years.
Tony Lentino, the CEO of Domain Directors, said this afternoon:
“I am shocked at auDA’s actions. auDA brought down one of my long
standing websites. auDA wrote the policy, made the complaint to
itself, and acted as judge and jury, and then deleted my DNS entry
without informing me. With auDA governing the system, no Australian
domain name is safe.”
Originally, auDA informed Domain Directors that a third party had made
a complaint about the “auregistry.com.au” domain name, but after the
lawsuit was commences, the lawyers for auDA’s informed Domain
Directors that in fact, no complaint had been made.
John Swinson, partner of Mallesons Stephen Jaques which is representing
Domain Directors, says that the dispute will be heard in the Supreme
Court of Queensland on Friday, 21 November.
Domain Directors is an international registrar and provides an
extensive range of over 200 country code Top Level Domain name
extensions across Europe, America, and the Asia Pacific regions.
