auDA AGM 1999 Director Nominations
For the AGM to be held in October 1999.
Mr David Keegel (Supply Class)
David has been the Domain Administrator of wattle.id.au since 1995 when the id.au domains were opened for Australian individuals to register domains in.
He supports the principles of RFC 1591 (Domain Name System Structure and Delegation, J Postel), such as the focus on service by and responsibilities of Domain Name Administrators.
David Keegel administers the wattle.id.au registry as an individual, without charge, as a service to the Australian Internet community.
Mr Mark Hughes (Demand Class)
For the .au namespace I support:
- A non-profit administrative organisation with non-restrictive membership.
- Policies for .au developed by a public process.
- Introduction of competition in the provision of .au domain name services to users.
- Quality processes and infrastructure to ensure continuing reliable operation of .au.
I'm currently the treasurer and the membership officer for auDA, and have been involved in domain name issues for several years. I run my own consultancy and my background is in business with companies such as Coco-cola Amatil and Unilever.
Dr Erica Roberts (Supply Class)
No statement.
Mr Kevin Dinn (Representative Organisation Class)
The IIA is dedicated to promoting the health of the Internet industry in Australia and ensuring a level playing field and a fair go to all industry members regardless of size. If elected to the auDA Board I will bring these principals to auDA. I will also be able to pass on the opinions and experiences of our members.
Mr Kim Davies (Demand Class)
I am currently elected to the auDA Board as a Demand Class member and I'm restanding in this position at this first AGM.
I have had involvement in the Internet industry for a long period of time, and have participated in DNS reform in the past including ADNA and the initital DNS forums. I am also on the Board of the WA Internet Assocation.
In the short time since the current Board has been constituted a lot of work on auDA's foundations has been made, and I am keen to continue working toward creating a viable organisation to oversee .au.
Mr Kimberley Heitman (Representative Organisation)
I was elected to the interim Board in March 1999 and would be active in the process of ensuring that auDA delivers good policy for all Internet users. Electronic Frontiers Australia is a non-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to defining and promoting the rights of Australians in the online environment.
Mr Michael Malone (Supply Class)

Mr Greg Watson (Representative Organisation Class)
No statement.
Mr Chris Chaundy (Supply Class)
Through my long-term involvement with the growth of the internet in Australia, initially at the University of Melbourne and then at connect.com.au, having had operational responsibility for the net.au domain since 1994, and being involved in the .au Working Group and serving on the auDA Interim Board, I believe that I have the practical experience and background to continue serving the Australian Internet community on the Board of auDA. If re-elected, I will work to implement improvements to the domain name system in Australia while ensuring a continuity of service and smooth transition during this process.
Mr John Southgate (Demand Class)
As a Director of Go Publishing, I understand the importantce of Internet domain names. Our Go Words service at go.com.au is frequently used by people who are looking for a simpler way to go sites, but they only have a name to go by.
As the Internet has grown it has been difficult to maintain acceptable service levels consistent with the demands of a less academic and a more commercial Internet. Some change would be healthy, but it should not be radical. We can learn from ICANN, but we should not blindly follow and we should acknowledge and give credit to those who are managing domains in Australia today.
Mr David Thompson (Demand Class)
After serving as a Director on auDA Intrim's Board and being an active member on the legal sub-committee and the business plan development committee I offer auDA members the firm commitment to work in a way that sees it achieve its goals in the shortest reasonable timeframe.
Dr Iain Morrison (Representative Organisation)
