Subject:	Comments in regards .au and other proposals in policy draft

Hi Jo,

I agree with most of the proposals drafted (e.g length of domain renewal up to five years)

Like most people that already own .com.au domains, I find that the 'first come, first serve' policy to 
register .au domains concerning.

As a person that owns .com.au websites, I feel I should be giving the opportunity to match the name of 
my .com.au domain with the .au domain even if this is considered defensive. If I have a website that's 
for example, abcd.com.au and someone registers the domain abcd.au and uses the domain to create the 
same website that I have with the .com.au domain, how do I protect myself? It will certainly lead to loss 
of business, confusion from customers and possibly take legal action to protect myself. I'm sure I 
wouldn't be only with this problem.

I'm not totally against people that don't own a certain .com.au domain to register the .au domain but 
current owners of .com.au should be giving priority to decide whether they want to register the .au 
domain or not.

Thanks,

Enrique Campbell
