From: Anil Madikonda [madikonda@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 28 August 2002 10:42 AM To: jo.lim@auda.org.au Subject: placename.com.au Dear Joe, I would like to argue about the discrimination being handed down by the registring authorities, with respect to names being registered, which have significance as a geographic location. I have un-successfully tried to register bondi.com.au . I operate a registered company under the name Bondi Pty ltd, which does various It related works, nothing to do with any tourism or as such. There are some double standards being applied on the place name registrations. Take a look at this domain name: www.strathfield.com.au It is not a community organisation, it is a commercial for profiy entity. Why were they allowed to register this place name? Strathfield, Post code 2135 The policy should be fair to every one and not for some of them. I am going to great lengths to change my company name to something that i could be assured of getting a domain name in the .com.au name space. Sincerely Anil Madikonda [ S h r i . N e t ]
