Subject: Deadline for proposals for new TLD's

auDA,

This is not a proposal as such, but rather notice that NetRegistry would like forward 
such a proposal but the deadline in conjunction with current activities to go-live do 
not afford sufficient time.

I suspect that the reason none of the other registrars have put forward a proposal stems 
from the same consideration.

It would be trivial to put forward a simple proposal for a biz.au or info.au or alike. 
However, as some have pointed out, there is little need for additional 2LD's simply to 
extend choice. This may benefit registrars, but be of little real end user value. Instead, 
NetRegistry would like to propose a new TLD that encompasses more than a simple domain 
name service.

So this is in fact notice that NetRegistry would like to propose a new 2LD (or 2LD's) 
but cannot due to the restrictive deadline.

Regards

Larry Bloch
