The .au Domain Administration (auDA) has officially launched the new licensing framework for the .au domain. The framework streamlines more than 30 previous policies and includes a slew of updates aimed to “promote greater trust and confidence” in the domain. The framework covers the com.au, net.au, org.au, asn.au, edu.au, and state and territory namespaces. The updates include changes to the eligibility and allocation rules for com.au, net.au, org.au, asn.au and state and territory namespaces; terms and conditions for .au domain names; the complaints and cancellations processes; and rules for sub-domains, third-party use and monetisation of .au domains names.
