Any other disclosures to other parties should be determined by the privacy acts that apply for that particular country. I am a reseller of domain names, I have 23 of my own domain names, I do not resell au domain names getting one is too restrictive, too expensive most of the world dont know where, what au stands for and frankly does not care. The 2yr sign up is a money grabbing exercise. My system allows you to show your details or choose not to, and sign ups from 1 to 10 years. I do have problems with australian and global I am also an educator to the small business market, The message I deliver to this market is dont be a fool signing up for au domains for the above and other reasons. If you wish to put au domain names on the map throw out all the restrictions and educte those to the likely pitfalls on a continuing basis Tim Carroll --
