Subject: Domain Name Password Policy Review Submission

Jo,

Following auDA's call for public submissions for the Domain Name Password 
Policy Review, I wish to put forward the following:

Clause 4.3 of the Domain Name Password Policy Review should be amended to 
provide consumers with more security.

To quote a portion of that clause:

"For the purposes of this policy, "written authorisation" means a hard copy 
letter, facsimile or PDF document signed by the registrant, or in the case 
of a corporate registrant, signed by a senior manager, company director, 
company secretary (or equivalent of these positions) of the registrant, on 
corporate letterhead."

This should be amended to require that the written authorisation be in the 
form of a statutory declaration, witnessed, signed, and stamped by a Justice 
of the Peace, claiming ownership of the domain in question.

I call for this change to be made immediately, and all further written requests 
from October 1, 2005 meet this requirement before a password is released.

Regards,

Michael Purse
