Plan to stop web domain poaching.

Mar 22, 2002 (The Australian Financial Review

ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian domain name resellers will be prevented from poaching by new rules. Internet domain name regulator, auDA, has announced that it will adopt a new policy requiring domain name registrars to abide by a code of conduct. The code will ban misleading renewal letters. The move is in response to claims that Internet Registrations Australia (IRA) and Internet Name Group sent unsolicited renewal notices to domain name holders. Melbourne IT recently warned domain name holders to use their registry key to verify a change in their reseller. While IRA is not provisionally accredited and will not be affected, the code will apply to Internet Name Group.
